I don't want Paypal to automatically pay when I check out one eBay or anywhere else. I want to sign in with my password to approve the transaction. I have turned off One-Touch payment using the link below, but it only works for a short time and then it defaults back to automatic payment. How do I make this a permanent setting? Many of the answers to previous posts refer to menu options that I don't recognise. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello @DavidSC_02,
Thank you for visiting our community help forum!
I certainly understand how concerning this can be for you. To switch this feature off:
Log in to your account.
Click the Settings icon near the top of the page.
Click Security.
Next to 'Log In with PayPal', click Edit or Click "Stay logged in for purchases
Click Remove.
Alternatively, you can also reach out to our team through the available contact options at the bottom of PayPal page for additional assistance.
Best wishes,
Bindu

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately when I do as you suggest I do not see the menu option you mention. The options I see are:
Password
2-step Verification
Manage Your log-ins
Security Questions
Skip extra Approvals for faster payments.
There is no option for Log in with PayPal.
