Security when signing up for PayPal
Hello,
To increase security during the payment process via paypal, I would like to continue receiving an SMS with the login number from paypal. How do I set that up?
At the moment, signing in via ebay always goes through after entering the email address without any further identity check, and the payment is then completed automatically. For security reasons, I would like to continue receiving the current login number from paypal each time, which I then enter.
best regards
someone

if I pay something via PayPal,
I receive a message that contains the payment code.
