PayPal: How to Review Your Recent Logins

 PayPal is a huge online payment provider. As an account that involves dealing with your money, you probably want to keep as on top of its security as possible. The single most important thing you can do to secure your account is to make sure that you’ve got a long, strong, and unique password to access your account. Other important steps include Two-Factor Authentication aka 2FA, ensuring the email account associated with your PayPal account has a secure password, and occasionally reviewing your PayPal login activity.



PayPal offers you the ability to look through a historical list of where and when your account has been logged into. By reviewing this information, you may be able to spot a suspicious login, alerting you to the fact that your account may have been compromised.

·   To review your login history, you need to open PayPal’s settings. To do so, click the cogwheel icon in the top-right corner.

·    Once you’re in PayPal’s settings, switch to the “Security” tab, then click on “Manage your logins” to review your login activity.

Switch to the “Security” tab, then click on “Manage your logins” to review your login activity.

In the popup, you can then review recent logins. The information included about the logins includes the browser used, the operating system used, as well as the date and time of the login.

Note: It’s possible for the browser and operating system information to be incorrect as this will be based on the self-reported browser user agent which can be highly confusing and is not 100% reliable. For example, Windows 10 is sometimes detected as Windows 8.

If any of the logins look suspicious, especially based on the date and time of login, then you should click the respective “Remove” link to disable that session, then immediately change the password to your PayPal login account.

A blank page is displayed or PayPal is not loading completely

This can have several causes. The easiest solution to resolve it is to hit Ctrl-F5 in the browser while the page is active. This forces a reload and many times will display the page so that you can log in.

There is always a chance that this won't work, however. It is possible that the issue is on PayPal's side and that you cannot do anything but wait for it to be resolved.

If you don't have to make a transaction immediately, it is usually a good idea to wait an hour or even longer and try again afterward.

Your PayPal account is locked

Security systems may lock accounts automatically if too many login attempts are noticed. Locking may also happen if the account has had a "negative balance for an extended period of time", or when PayPal looks at the account manually, e.g. when it notices a successful hacking attempt.

PayPal asks customers whose accounts are locked to call the company. Customers need to be able to provide the account email address and the customer service pin.

The service pin is a six-digit number that you need to set up under Settings > Security > Customer Service Pin.
