Stay logged in

PayPal has been logging out my account after a period of inactivity. This is new behavior, and troublesome as there is no warning to allow me to remain logged so that I can keep the information I'm currently viewing on screen. To make it more frustrating, each time I try to log in again PayPal promotes their loans, so it's 3 clicks to get to the PayPal home screen, then I have to recreate whatever screen I was on.

 

How the [Removed] do I stay logged in paypal for at least 1 month and stop verifying myself with the phone code every 15 minutes???

I am frequently confounded and frustrated by this as well. We have ZERO control over how long it is that we get logged out. I saw on another thread where it said it was "5-10 minutes of inactivity". Apparently typing in an invoice, refreshing the page, adding line items is not considered "activity". What REALLY drives me crazy is that even the "save draft" button LINKS YOU BACK TO THE LOGIN SCREEN - . I just dumped 45 minutes of typing an invoice. This is an extremely wasteful flaw. And it's not like this service is free. I pay 3% of every invoice. Are we going to have anything change? I want to control my login status and stop wasting time. I'm going to be copying this reply in a separate text message as well because I wouldn't be surprised if THIS page times out while I am typing......
