what are security questions used for?

What if I leave security questions not set? What's the price for that? If I set them, what security or convenience will I gain?

Hello @uE0gjhQozHUS9vt, 

Thanks for reaching out and posting your first question in the Community! 

I understand you'd like to learn more about security questions. When you set your security questions, it can add another layer of security. If our Security System detects that someone else may be logging into your account, we may ask that the questions are answered first. Additionally, the questions may be presented when a password reset is requested. If you're looking to add extra security to your account, I also suggest enabling 2-Step Verification by following the steps on our Help Center here: How do I turn on or off 2-step verification for PayPal account login?

I hope this answers your questions!
