It is unclear to me if a seller is provided by PayPal my name and address when it appears PayPal is provided the email given to the seller. I’d appreciate that credentials given to a seller be clearly apart from those reserved to PayPal. Speaking of email address and the way transactions are processed from the seller to the buyer via Paypal : I recently purchased a software license and after having provided my name, snail mail address and email, having chosen PatPal, I was surprised to notice that the PayPal login displayed the email address I had given to the software seller, which was not the one I use for PayPal (given as noted above that I have a PayPal only reserved email address). No authentication here for accessing my PayPal account but of course a very strong password and a dedicated, reserved email address.

Now You: Do you use PayPal or other payment services regularly or occasionally? If you have not already, I suggest you enable 2-step login on PayPal to better secure the account. Some users prefer SMS, others authenticator apps and PayPal supports both now.

You can set the authenticator app as the primary 2-step login method this makes SMS the backup method.

Type the six digit authentication code in the field on the PayPal website to verify the link between the authenticator app and your PAyPal account.

The authenticator app should pick up the company and your PayPal email address automatically.

If you cannot scan the code, type the 16 character code that is displayed underneath it instead. You need to open the authenticator app that you use on your mobile device and use it to scan the QR code.

PayPal displays a QR code on the next page.

When adding a device, select "Use an authenticator app".

Turn 2-step login on if it is set to off.

Select the settings icon in the top right corner on the PayPal website.

If you run into issues here, try our PayPal login guide to sort things out. Here is how you use an authenticator application to protect PayPal better or switch from SMS: We do know that Google's and Microsoft's solution work but that is about it ( Authy works as well). The suggestion to search for an application is vague, and it is quite possible that users may encounter less than stellar apps when they run searches.

To download an app, go to your phone's app store, search for "authenticator app", and download one such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
