I have two step authentication turned on and around 10:30 I got two text messages for login attempts on my paypal. I immediately signed in to see if there was any issue but got in with no problem, and the only new payment was the autopayment for my patreon. I don't know if the two are related, but something similar has happened before (regardless, I'm changing my password) and I just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience, since I can't make heads or tails of paypals help center. Thanks in advance.
