Impossible to get past Captchas!

The fact that I have to go through forums to ask users for ideas instead of Paypal itself says everything.
As so many others have said over the past several years, I can't log in- when I try it says I've tried too many times and I have to solve a CAPTCHA. They just
don't recognise my attempts. No matter how many hydrants, crosswalks, lights etc, nothing works. I can't use the audio because it it says too many 'bots' have tried to do so on.
When I FINALLY managed to get through I had to go through it all again in German. And then had to get text messages twice- before and after paying. This is ridiculous! Surely there must be a sensible way, as with every other business online, to access one's account! I shouldn't have to have a mobile ohone with me at all times.
I'm so fed up. I hate using Paypal anyway with its attacks on free speech and the like, but this takes the cake.
Sure enough, I notice below I AGAIN have to acknowledge that "I'm not a robot"- just to ask a question or 'like' a response!

Hi @LairdKeir and welcome,
This sounds extremely frustrating. When you are logging on are you using the same browser each time? If so I would recommend to clear that cookies and cache and temporary files as this can help start things fresh and hopefully get you out of the never ending loop of Capthas.
I hope this helps and please do let us know how you get on as it may help other members,
Paula
