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 paypal 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 do I change my PayPal password? (Your account password on paypal.com)
·
First, open a new browser window and type
"www.paypal.com" inside the address bar; then hit Enter (on Windows 7
/ Vista / XP or Linux) or Return (if you are using Mac OS X).
·
Once the PayPal login screen has loaded, sign in
to your account as you usually do: enter your email address and your current
password, and click on the "Log In" button.
·
If you receive an banner ad in the middle of the
process (this happens all too frequently, simply ignore it by clicking on the
"Go to my account" button to continue).
·
The next screen will be your PayPal account
summary screen, which displays current balance, a welcome greeting that
includes your name, etc. Move your mouse pointer (cursor) above the
"Profile" link inside the PayPal toolbar.
·
Under the Profile menu, choose "More
Options", as shown on the screenshot above.
·
PayPal will now open a page called "Profile
Summary" - this aggregates into a convenient location all your personal
account settings and options that can be configured.
·
In the following page, leave "Password"
checked, and click on the "Edit" button.
·
Since PayPal is one of the most security
conscious sites around, they will ask you to first verify some very specific
data, like your bank account number. Enter the information requested (you can
pick other choices from the dropdown menu to confirm your identity), and click
"Submit".
·
Once you have successfully confirmed your
identity by checking some data, you will finally be brought to the "Change
Password" screen.
·
Then, type the PayPal password you want to change
to inside the "New Password" field; to change your password, you will
need to re-type the new one for confirmation purposes. Do so inside the
"Re-enter new password" text field.
·
To finalize the password change, and apply it
immediately, click on the "Save" button.
