This hack was not meant to be widely adopted, but instead a cheap proof 
of concept (emphasis on "cheap") possibly providing an added level of 2 
factor protection for important accounts such as the "master joomla 
admin" or for a few close friends. It's essentially leeching the 
services off Paypal's securId servers.
