Malfunction with PayPal: According to you, 2FA codes are not arriving

What’s going on with PayPal, many of you are probably wondering at the moment. Because since 7:10 p.m. we have been registering increasing numbers of complaints about problems with the payment process in our PayPal malfunction reporter.

A look at Twitter reveals: Apparently there are currently problems with sending the 2FA codes. With two-factor authentication (2FA) you protect your account from unauthorized access. In addition to your password, you must then enter a code that will be sent to you via SMS.

But the problem does not only affect us here in Germany. There are also reports from other parts of the world on Twitter.

PayPal support has not yet commented on the problem. The only option you have at the moment is to wait and see.
