Since PayPal holds all kinds of financial information about
yourself, safety is paramount: if someone were to hack your PayPal account, you
could potentially end up in serious financial troubles (without even mentioning
the possibility of identity theft).
For this reason, you should always check
your PayPal account from a trusted computer, and nowhere else if at all
possible. Another security measure to keep your account safer is to regularly
change your account password. As you'll see in this tutorial, it is quite easy
to do, and will help diminish the likelihood of anything happening.
How to Change PayPal Password and security questions?
We recommend you change your password and security questions
from time to time.
Here's how I change
your PayPal password:
·
Go to your Profile Icon Settings.
·
Click the Security tab above your name.
·
Click Update next to "Password."
·
Confirm your current password, enter your new
password twice, and click Change Password.
Here's how I change
your PayPal security questions:
·
Go to your Profile Icon Settings.
·
Click the Security tab above your name.
·
Click Update under "Security
questions."
·
From the "Security question 1" and
"Security question 2" dropdown menus, select a question and type its
answer.
·
Click Save.
You may bypass the steps above, and update your password and
security questions by going straight to the Security page.
You have successfully changed your PayPal password! Just
remember to start using it instead of the old one right away. Unlike other more
mundane online services like Hotmail Sign in, a few wrong passwords entered
into the PayPal login screen, and your account will be blocked until you
unblock it by phone!
