I received a text msg from Paypal containing a 6 digit security code with a 10 minute window to use. I did not initiate this request, is my account secure?

Hello @Anitafew

Thanks for visiting the Community! 

I can understand the concern caused by the text message. If you didn't initiate the message, that can mean someone else is trying to log into your account. Since they don't have access to your mobile device, they wouldn't be able to. However, I still recommend resetting your password and security questions

I hope this helps!
