Just curious what is the best way to protect your poker stars account? Thank you.

PokerStars offers 2-factor authentication as described here:

I use the PIN version of this, but I just realized I did not set it up correctly.

Go to "Settings" then "Account Details" in the client, and you should be able to figure it out there.

Best of luck,
VS

Just curious what if someone had my password, but didn't have me pin? Couldn't they just log inside and play a game like a 6 max and lose and purpose to transfer the funds?

No, to log in you would need to enter both your password AND your pin. So if they only have your password, they can't do anything :)

The pin system is set up so so that you must click six buttons to enter the pin.
The numbers are scrambled each time, so memorizing the positions would not help an attacker.

I'll post a picture the next time I log in

Cheers,

This what it looks like.
You can only enter your pin by clicking the numbered buttons.
The buttons are never in the same position twice.
