Important Considerations

  • Two-Factor Authentication: For enhanced security, consider enabling two-factor authentication (also known as two-step verification) on your PayPal account. This adds an extra layer of protection when logging in.

  • Phishing Scams: Be cautious of any emails or messages that ask for your PayPal login credentials or personal information. PayPal will never ask for your password via email. Always log in directly through the official website or app.
