Hi community.

 

for the time being I'm using google authenticator app to log into my PayPal, but I also purchased a Yubikey.

I'm trying to use  a Yubikey, but I'm getting this error appearing, and also: requested time out message.

also where can I download the 6 digits google authenticator which PayPal is using for backup?

 

thank you.
