Thank you for the suggestion. This is a good idea. The next time the attackers force me to change my passwords again I will try your solution. I didn't know that you could change your email and thought this is not possible. ... View more

Good day everyone. I am facing a problem that I annoys me very much. Some malicious party seems to know my Paypal login email address and thus seems to try to bruteforce my login password which leads to me being locked out of my account all the time due to the "too many incorrect login attempts - try again later secutiry feature" only that trying again later doesn't ever work.  The only thing I can do is to reset my password every time I want to log in which is super duper annoying beyond believe. And a couple of hours later my account is locked again. I am running out of passwords that I can remember this way. What is the 2FA good for? Is there any workaround to counter this problem? Making a new account is not an option for me. Paybal is no fun at all to use this way. ... View more
