Hello all.....first post.

 

What can I do so that PayPal does not pre-list my email address at login?

 

I want to be required to type my email address in each time at login, I do not want it to be already there.

 

TIA!

Digger109,

I can understand why you would not want your email remembered.  The process by which this email address is remembered, is not a PayPal process.  For security reasons we do not leave this as an option through our system.

This would be a setting within your personal computer.  I apologize, but I am unsure as to what system you use so I would be unable to advise you on how to stop this process. 

I would highly recommend that you contact your computer support to make this change.

Warren,

              I have the same problem. I was told to delete browsing history it worked on every account except PAYPAL.

I was able to solve my problem like this (I'm currently using Internet Explorer 8 as a browser):

 

Tools -> Internet Options

 

Look in the "Security" section.

 

Select the "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed." option.

 

Worked for me.

 

 

In Firefox (I use Firefox 3.6.13 on my Linux machines):

 

Edit -> Preferences

 

Open the "Privacy" tab.

 

Under "History" select "Use custom settings for history" in the dropdown menu.  Then, select the "Clear history when Firefox closes" option.

 

IHTH!
