Two Factor Authentication Option---?

[Pete109]

Hi,

I have setup a 2FA Yubico usb key to be used during login, what's troubling is now I'm given the option of either receiving PayPal's 2FA 6 digit txt code or to insert the usb key; the whole point of setting up a usb key is to replace the txt key not to be presented with this as an option during login?

I would have preferred one or the other and for this to be defined by myself in my account settings better still have both enabled; PayPal has effectively nutralized the use of the usb key by presenting both options.

Btw both Google & Facebook don't do this you have to insert the usb key to gain account access why is PayPal different?

Thxs in advance..Peter

That's really unfortunate. Makes me want to just skip adding that added layer of protection with the Dual authentication- Good luck

Yes well put its very disappointing as suppose to be an extra level of security that can currently be defeated before activation, given email & p/w breaches!
