Every time I now try to login to paypal I get a message that I must change my password. If I change the password, immediately log out, then try to login right away I am getting the exact same message that I must change my password. Really???   To add to the craziness of the situation palpay "helpfully" now adds a option to login WITH NO PASSWORD AT ALL, just a single SIM code.   I find the current lack of security in paypal hard to believe for a financial institution. No wonder the scamers are doing so well. ... View more

You did not note the extreme loss of security that paypal currently experiences due to paypal now allows login with NO password or challenge questions answered AT ALL! All that is needed as the single 6 digit code from the cell number paypal has on file to login and make charges to a paypal account.   So if you lose you cell phone your paypal account is WIDE OPEN to whoever now has your cell phone. There is ZERO security in the case of a lost cell phone today with paypal.   If you experience ID theft and the your cell phone SIM is slammed to a another SIM card again you paypal account become WIDE OPEN to the ID theft. This is a crazy situation in my experience.   ... View more

Cancel your paypal account. This will stop the payments. Sadly this seems the only way currently to get paypal problems fixed these days. You can always open a new account and start fresh. ... View more

Why does paypal no longer require my password to login? No password is now needed login to my account, just a SMS code sent to a cell phone. Huge lack of security here! Is there some way to disable SMS ONLY logins to insure anyone logging in also has the correct password? I can not find a setting for this. If your cell is lost OR with ID theft your cell number is slammed to a different sim card paypal becomes wide open. Crazy to me. ... View more
