Since this is an old issue, one that has significant security implications, and one  that has not changed despite multiple complaints from multiple users, perhaps bringing it to the attention of a news organization or financial/security podcaster would be enough to get PP to fix this significant flaw.   Just throwing this out there in case anyone has contacts that could be leveraged to get PP to do something......jim ...

Still an issue.  There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off OneTouch and have it stay off.  Even though I have not enabled Auto Login ("Auto login is turned off for all devices") PayPal keeps on recognizing my browsers and turning it on for the recognized browser.  Below is a snipit from the email I get.  I don't want to have to repeatedly turn off auto login.....I think this is a bug, that increases my risk of being hacked.....really annoying too.  Please report and fix.   Since we recognize this device, you’ll continue to stay logged in, so you can skip typing your password during certain activities such as check out.   For your security, we may occasionally ask you to re-enter your password.   If this is a shared device, or you don’t recognize device Desktop Chrome Windows, turn off the Trusted Device status here ...
