- By installing the latest PayPal app update on your device or by clearing off browser cache and cookies on a regular basis, you can definitely get rid of this as well as similar issues
- While trying to access your account, make sure that you only use the official app or the official website because the internet is swamped with a lot of lookalike PayPal which might only steal your PayPal login credentials
