I'm being forced to login twice... every time, from every device

[HaveAnEpiphany]

No matter what device or browser I use, I'm forced to enter login information a second time. I've cleared cookies, used different browsers, and I'm having the same experience on mobile or desktop.

Often, I see the "You must log in before you access this page" error after the first login attempt.

This happens if I'm just logging in to check my account or if I'm in a checkout process.

The second time I enter my details, I'm always logged in. I'm not entering anything differently -- email/password are correct. I'm not seeing any errors related to incorrect login details. I just have to do it twice. Every time.

Any ideas?

This problem started for me about 4 months ago, and since I use paypal for business, I have to login in twice many times a day.

I'm now looking for another payment platform. That seems to be the only solution as clearly Paypal will not fix this.

I have this same problem...

I wonder how much time is wasted when you combine the 1,000s?  10,000s? of merchants having to login twice.

Same issue here. Been going on for a very long time. Very annoying. Searched and found this thread about the issue. I'm a merchant also, so I get to log in a lot. Oh joy.

Will this ever be resolved? 

So annoying. Admit it's a problem and let us know what's going on!

Same here. 2 or 3 months now. What's up, PayPal?

Bumping, and will bump till it's answered.

Bump

This has been going on for over a year now for me. I started using Paypal 15 years ago, but have recently been using it less than normal because this double logging in is getting to be too much of a nuisance.

Write me on the list....

I have experienced the "double-login" problem for over a year now from all desktops that I own.
