You can secure your paypal by adding a card and creating a complex password.
As if someone tried to use forgot password, the PayPal will ask him about the card number.
I think if you stop giving away your paypal on forums and other places. That would be much better and safe way to protect. Only share your paypal mail in private. Also find alternative methods for payment which are secure than paypal like payoneer. Bitcoin is another option. And like this list goes on. So depending on how that works out you have to find what you can see with the more secure payments you dont have to worry much.
just consider this, even how complex your passwords you used and even how careful you are by not disclosing your security details as long as you are using online payment processors or other online services that relates to personal money there is always a risk when these companies can any time suspend, froze or even delete your account for some reasons that is why always leave a small amount of cash on any online platforms you are using if in case you wish to use that to purchase online but to leave a huge amount of money is not safe not only against hackers but to the company you entrusted your money with since you are dealing with them online and they are in full control of your money.
always protect your money
I think it to avoid dropping ones PayPal information on a public form,try to use a PayPal password that is a bit complicated and not leaving huge sums of money online .It not even about hackers alone.one account can be deleted,frozen or limited by this company.
you can enable 2-factor authentication and by doing this I think it would be pretty difficult for someone to hack your PayPal since you have to enter unique sms-code each time you try to log in.
I have never seen anything like 2 factor authentication in PayPal settings. Can you post a screenshot or give more details on how to set it.
To add on this, not sharing PayPal password and also avoid logging in PayPal account when using a public computer. Make online transactions with online sites that you trust and also make sure to validate the PayPal account.
After you log in click Settings /top right icon, next to Log out/
Then click Security, and then - Security key - you can add up to 3 mobile phones which you can use to get a sms-code before each log in. I added 2 numbers just in case I lost one of my phones.
It might be better if you use a unique password. The password should different from the password your email use in paypal or password in other sites. Avoid sharing your paypal account in public it is better to transact payment in a private message.
