Anyone logged into PayPal today?

[Mermaidman]

I had a strange email from 'service@paypal.com.' All it contained was a routing number of some kind. No greeting, no nothing.

Having participated in this thread from yesterday, I was a little nervous, so I logged into my PP and was required to change my password and security questions. Anyone else had to change his PW for PP?

update: PayPal has now limited my access. Ironically, I can still accept payments, but cannot withdraw. I guess even with potential fraudulent activity, PayPal won't hesitate to take $$.

I just logged in and I was not forced to change mine.

Yup. If you have a bank account linked I'd call the bank and halt any withdrawals by your paypal account.

Hurry.

Hahah--I did not click on any link to get to PP. I actually typed in the URL

Go to paypal immediately and change your password again just in case. It can't hurt.

Did a transaction this AM. No problems or concerns

i logged in today and it didn't force me to change my password.

i COULD be wrong, but i swear i remember Paypal making my change my password a long time ago. Was your Paypal account inactive for a long time?

Paypal has made me change passwords in the past. If you keep the same one for a while maybe that is why?

 

[Mermaidman]

No. Hasn't been inactive. I just logged in with my new password and now I get this:

FVCK! I really don't want to link a bank account to PP. (I don't have any linked right now). Is this PayPal's way of forcing me to link a bank?!

 

[zixxer]

I had to change mine as well... probably because we entered false info into that scammers link yesterday.


Out of curiousity I checked a couple of the login/pw to see if they worked... I hope I don't get bothered by paypal about it.. :-/

 

[Anubis]

i just logged in fine

didnt make me change

 

[rh71]

i don't think they make everyone change across the board. It's probably a set day period... like 90 days or 186 days... according to when you first registered... so it may not be the same day we change our passwords. The question is... do you ever recall having to change your PP password upon login ? I honestly don't.

But if you typed the URL manually, I wouldn't worry about it.
