How do I transfer my Paypal 2-factor authentication to 1Password?

johnfixesstuff · November 2015

I use 2-factor authentication on my paypal.com login and want to transfer the one-time password generator to 1Password but Paypal wants to know the "serial number" of the password generator but I don't see the ability to give one from 1Password. I had been using the VIP Access app by Symantec. Can you help please?

Thanks,
John

Hi John ( @johnfixesstuff ),

Unfortunately PayPal does not use the same standard that 1Password uses for two step authentication, and as such 1Password will not be able to provide the codes for PayPal's second step. Sorry about that!
