Activating Two-Step Verification!
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your PayPal Account Login by requiring you to enter a code from your mobile phone in addition to your password when logging in. This means that even if someone manages to guess or steal your password, they will not be able to log into your account without also having access to your phone. To enable two-factor authentication, log into your PayPal Account and go to the "Security" tab under "Settings".
Tips for a Secure PayPal Account.
When you create a PayPal Account, you will also need to create a password. This password should be strong, meaning that it should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. A strong password is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your PayPal Account secure.
Enable Two-Step Verification.
In addition to creating a strong password, you can also enable two-step verification for your PayPal Account. This means that in addition to your password, you will also need to enter a code that is sent to your mobile phone in order to log in. This adds an extra layer of security to your account, making it more difficult for someone to hack into your account even if they have your password.
Enable Security Alerts.
Finally, you can also enable security alerts for your PayPal Account. This means that you will receive an email or text message any time there is suspicious activity on your account, such as a login from an unrecognized device or location. This gives you the opportunity to quickly shut down any unauthorized activity on your account and helps to protect your finances from fraudsters.
