Has anyone received an email from PayPal (Saturday the 21st) saying that you need to reset your password? In the email they say that you cannot log in and that they have provided a temporary password in order for you to do so. I tried logging in today - just normally - and it worked just fine. I did not need to do anything different. Anyone else receive something like this? The email that PayPal sent reads as follows:
At PayPal, your security is a top priority. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email addresses and passwords on the web. While the list is not related to PayPal, we know that it is common practice to use the same email and password across various websites. It is possible that your email and password may have been on the list. We’ve taken extra precaution to confirm that your PayPal account is secure and have assigned a temporary password to your account.
You will need to reset your password to access your PayPal account. To reset a new password:
Go to PayPal.com and click “Log In.”
Click the “Having trouble logging in?” link.
Follow the steps to set a new password to one that is unique to your PayPal account, has not been used previously, and is hard to guess.
Once you’ve done this, your new password will be effective immediately. If you have any questions about your account, please contact us
