Is there a possibility to avoid 2FA on my home PC?
I want to avoid this as I do not have my smartphone always close when working at the PC.
From what I see it should be done automatically when using the PC more often.
Unfortunately this has not yet worked for me - still will be asked for Auth Code.
Regards Frank

I have disabled the 2FA function , and deleted all Cookies for Paypal in Firefox.
But doing login again on the WIN 10 i never see an option to make this PC a trusted unit.
I also deleted the App on smartphone , re-installed it and it works as expected -
so on my smartphone it works without 2FA.
Any more ideas (Win 10 and Firefox has alle the newset updates).
and BTW - it also does not worl with opera browser - same as in firefox.
any idea ?
Frank
