PayPal max length

[FezVrasta]

I'm not sure if they fixed it, but last time I entered a password generated by 1Password that was too long, it allowed me to change it, but when I tried to login it said that it was wrong.

Maybe worth it to verify it and update accordingly.

Thanks for the note. Feel free to submit a PR if their password rules have changed.

Looks like they fixed it, better :-)

Just created a paypal account with a 24 char long password. I was not able to log in with the password until I removed the last 4 characters.

Paypal seems to simply accept >20 passwords, but ignores anything after the 20th character. This is even worse than not accepting >20 passwords.

That's awful! Feel free to submit a PR with the update.

Not only that, PayPal only has SMS-based 2FA. What are they thinking??

[FezVrasta]

@danehrlich1 there's a hack to use standard 2FA apps (like Google Authenticator), but yet, a hack.

@FezVrasta Where is this documented? I'm interested in using it

but it looks like it's now supported natively, I have to look into it

Thanks @FezVrasta I just added true TOTP to my PayPal, natively 👍

Do they still block the use of password managers?

I have had a problem using 1Password
