Enable PayPal 2FA - how to do it securely

With PayPal you can go shopping on the Internet without sharing your payment details every time. This approach allows you to shop faster and more securely in online stores. To further protect your account, enabling two-factor authentication can help.

How to enable two-factor authentication at PayPal

If you want to make your PayPal account more secure, two-factor authentication can help. With this, it is more difficult to log into your account without permission, as your identity is verified twice. However, you must first activate the method.
  1. Go to PayPal's website and log in with your credentials.
  2. Then click on the gear icon in the top right corner to open the settings.
  3. Here, select the menu item "Security".
  4. Now go to the button "Two-step verification".
  5. Now you have the choice to perform the 2FA either with the help of an SMS or with the authentication app.
  6. For the former, you must enter your cell phone number. You will then receive a code via SMS. Diese müssen Sie in das angezeigte Feld eintragen, um die Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung zu aktivieren.
  7. Haben Sie dagegen „Authentifizierung-App verwenden“ ausgewählt, benötigen Sie zunächst die dazugehörige App. Diese können Sie im jeweiligen App Store herunterladen.
  8. Scannen Sie mit Ihrem Smartphone und der App den QR-Code, der Ihnen bei PayPal angezeigt wird.
  9. Nun wird in der App ein Code angezeigt, den Sie wiederum bei PayPal eingeben, um die 2FA zu aktivieren.
