Subj: AOL to sell security device



NEW YORK (Reuters) - America Online will begin offering to sell members a
security device and service that has been used to safeguard business
computer networks, the world's largest Internet service provider said on
Tuesday

AOL, a unit of Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX - news), signed a deal with
Internet security company RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq:RSAS - news), to
launch its new AOL PassCode, designed to add an additional layer of
protection to member accounts.

PassCode users will be provided with a small handheld six-digit numeric
code key.

To log onto an AOL account equipped with the service, users will have to
type in the six-digits, which refresh on the device every 60 seconds, on
top of using the regular password.
