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.
