PayPal 2FA

Recommended Posts

Has anyone applied 2FA with PayPal.

I'm getting rather frustrated with PayPal, and thier inability to provide any meaningful support.

They keep sending me around in circles.

 

Firstly, they suggested I install Symantec VIP authenticator, and whilst the install of the app is painless on a PC, how to configure this to work with PayPal took over a week of back and forth before I finally recieved the information required.

Once the app is installed, there are two methods to authenticate

Scan a QR code, or have the app provide a secure key.

I can't scan a QR code as this relies on using a mobile phone, and sort of defeats the object.

I'm tightening up security, but a trusted user could still log in to paypal from home and steal from us.

So whats the point of 2FA using a private device.

 

The second option works OK, where by the Symantec authenticator app provides a secure key.

However, it's limited to four token ID's, and I have about 6 users in different parts of the business.

 

Anyone else in a similar predicament. ?
