Paypal has decided to ask me to check the captcha code but they haven't given me a captcha code.  Smart system!

 

has anybody else experienced this issue and gotten around it.paypal-captcha.png

I have the same experience. It prevents me from buying a limited product and that just drives me crazy. My config: Android 8, Mozilla.

I don't seem to get this problem any longer.  I suspect it may have to do with the URL/link that you use to get to paypal.

This was happening to me too until I noticed that when I manually type in my username and password (no copy/paste or auto fill) it works without the error message.

 

It seems that either copy/pasting or auto fill from browser plugins or password managers trigger the error message.

The only way I can login using a PC is to use my cell phone number instead of my email address  and then the same password as if I was logging in with the email address

Happens on the straight PayPal.com url, too.
