I noticed my PayPal account was a person one and i converted to business PayPal, now it seems I am not authorized to access the Developer Dashboard, also get a 403 Page Not Found when i try access Get Api Credentials. I think my credentials with email/password were removed since the business account gets authenticated using a code (sent via sms).

@Songz You should be able to access developer portal via your PayPal credentials and generate API credentails.

I would suggest to please try now by clearing the web browser cache/cookies.

If your still facing issue, please create a MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US  with the detail information and error details.
