Previously PayPal never sent notification to email when we log in, usually only when transferring or receiving some money. This proves that whenever someone tries to break through there will always be walls blocking it. i haven't tried to access it on the computer.

If I log in from a new device they send me a txt message with a code to check that I am the legit owner of the account.

@May2k8 It happened to me when I logged in using a Linux system instead of my usual Windows.

@RebeccasFarm well, as long as it's genuine from Paypal.

I have gotten that message before. Now they want me to back up the account with a bank or credit card. Something I did initially, but neither of those accounts are in use any more.

@May2k8 That would make sense.

it seem like PayPal is trying to identify the account holder when 2 users with the same IP are accessing PayPal.

I don't typically get e-mails unless I request a verification code.

@kaylachan if I am already logged in I will stay logged in until I have to log out manually.

I tried logging in on my computer just now to check if PayPal would email me but nope. No email. I use Macintosh on my computer and iOS on my phone. I don't remember any emails from PayPal telling me I've logged in when I try to do so in both devices.

this is what I'm experiencing now, or maybe it only applies to certain devices.

@May2k8 I guess it's because I'm using apple devices that's why.

@ainnaqo66 yes it's not a problem they just made sure that it was us who logged in (no one else).

Yes, I always do because I have set up my accounts to verify with me first if the URL is from a new address.

I haven't tried logging in to PayPal for months now because I am not earning online since I moved to the dorm.

I also haven't filled my PayPal in over a year, I'm collecting some crypto coins though. Since the games that I usually play can only withdraw it to Coinbase, now I can also withdraw it to PayPal once every 7 days, so I just checked my PayPal again.

actually this is good because if something is suspicious we can send a message to PayPal.

I think a lot of sites which deal with currency have adopted the policy of two-step verification. Where either your e-mail address or cell phone is text with a security code. The extra security is a good practice with so many scammers out there.

You are right, even now scammers can infiltrate applications to access all the data on the cellphone.
