PayPal Community

Hi,   i cleared the cookies yesterday but havent tested it afterwards. but just now i clicked "login to reply" which forwarded me to paypal.com to login and there password + authenticator were enough to log in, which is good. but after i was returned to paypallcommunity to post here i wanted to open paypal.com to check if it really worked, but i had to log me in there again (only pw+authn this time)   so it seems to be working that i only need my pw+auth, but that is still a lot when i am always at the same pc and internetconnection. (also i was never logged in from outside my home country). let's hope it stays this way.   thx for the help   sincerly thomas ... View more

Hi,   just had to login with all 3 steps again just to post here.   under remembered devices there is only the device i am using, but still i have "to confirm your identity for authentication purposes" but not sometimes it is always. i closed all paypal tabs in my browser to test it and i had to login (with all 3 steps again). maybe i could disable 2FA in teh settings that could bring the 3FA process down to "real" 2FA, but sms/whatsapp is really tedious in comparison to an authenticator app or a working 2FA/trusted device solution   i also tried different browsers than chrome, but neither edge, opera nor firefox work, it is all the same 3FA.   *edit* now the third authentication step doesnt offer whatsapp anymore i have to use sms.   mfg thomas ...

Hi,   i am only using my PC. Without any VPN or similar stuff. there is no opion to select my device as trusted. just now just to be able to answer here i had to do it all over again. sometimes the 3rd step is only sms and whatsapp isnt selectable there. also after i logged into playpal and got redirected to the forum i opened a new tab to paypal.com and had to login again with 3FA. i have adblocker disabled, no cookies blocked etc.   i would be ok if i had to use 2FA all the time, but the 3FA part really sucks cause looking at sms/hatsapp is just overkill added on top of the authenticator app.   mfg Thomas ...
