Is there any way to lengthen the timeout? I sell all day using paypal. And almost every time I'm doing the captcha!
I can't handle logging in so many times a day on my personal laptop in my house on my static IP. I'm ready to switch processors.

Hello @trchap,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear you've run into some issues with login time-out and CAPTCHA's when logging back in. I can certainly understand how those can be a bit cumbersome. Have you tried turning on 2-step verification? After successfully entering your password, you’ll be prompted to enter a one-time code each time you log in. Unfortunately, there's not a way to extend that login time-out timeframe, but turning on that 2-step verification may help with the system not showing you those CAPTCHA's.
I hope that helps!
