Hello LoreIG,
Welcome to the Community . That is a great question! The good news is, yes you can protect your PayPal account! You can add what is called a "Manage user." When adding an additional user you can select what permission(s) they will have.
Here is how you can add a user: log into your PayPal account, click Profile (under My account), click My settings, click update next to Manage users, click Add User. To protect your PayPal account only select Integration API Activation & Authorization. Please note: when selecting this option the added user will be able to see what you are able to see in your PayPal account but will not be able to do anything with it.
