Re: Paypal login - how to suppress seconday valida...

Thank you for your comment.  I cannot find a duplicate post... can you give me a pointer to it? I am still experiencing the same problem... Every time I complete a purchase, I am informed that the login is being left open to facilitate future purchases.  I don't want it left open, so I have to log in again to turn the option off.  Every time I log in, after providing my password, I have to undergo a secondary validation, by email or text message to gain access. I would very much like to know how to permanently turn off both being left logged in, and having to provide a confirmation in addition to my password. Can you assist, or point me to the duplicate post that contains an answer?  Thanks! ... View more

I use a Windows computer when purchasing online, and prefer to enter my Paypal password every time (despite the fact that it now wants to perform a secondary validation via email or text message every time), and choose not to have my device remembered.  But still, after every payment is completed, I receive an email telling me that "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."  I specifically do not want this, and have turned off the Auto login option, but every time I have to log back in to Paypal and turn that option off again.  How can I permanently suppress ever being left logged in to Paypal? ...

Paypal login - how to suppress seconday validation...

When logging in using my Windows computer, after the password is accepted, it now always asks for a secondary validation - email, phone text, etc. How to turn that off?  I don't always have my mobile device with me, and prefer not to use it for any financial transactions.  I suspect my ISP changes my IP address frequently, because Paypal seems to remember many devices (even though I opt not to remember it). ...
