I opted in for "one touch" purchasing and I have a couple questions. Firstly, I received an email from PayPal confirming the opt in and in that email they gave an ID or password as the description of my device (my smartphone) and I have no idea where or how they came up with this ID. It is not something that I made up, it is not something that comes from my phone, like my IMEI, or device model number, it is not anything I recognize. What is this ID number and letters? How did it get generated? Am I supposed to know this for future transactions? Why wouldn't PayPal give me information about something that obviously they are using as security code or something important like describing my device? Secondly, on the same category, "one touch". The service is to be accessed only by the device, PC, laptop, tablet, that you, the account holder, used to opt in to that service. If you use another device you have to sign in normally to make a transaction. I have two phones that I use myself, daily, one for business and one for personal use. They both are linked to all my accounts, emails, banks, etc.. PayPal included. If I need to use my other phone to make a purchase using PayPal, according to the "one touch" rules, I would have to sign in with full password or whatever security and disable "one touch", and then proceed with my purchase using the long normal back and forth system of PayPal and the seller websites. Since PayPal took the initiative to give my main phone linked to my PayPal account, a device codename or whatever, couldn't they just give my second device it's own codename as well so it too can be used by me for "one touch" purchasing?
