I wonder if it triggered a block for drugs or porn.
"okay so i was able to get through to a person an this is what I learned: - this was a "back office" decision, meaning a human being made it - its "un-appealable", paypal has outright fired me as a customer - they refuse to explain why "so people dont game the system""
I just logged in to PayPal a couple days ago using my residential IP (unchanged for 2 years), a random (strong, unique) password, and a Yubikey only to be told suspicious activity on my account required me to change my password. From my point of view they randomly picked something they think is suspicious and it triggered something somewhere I guess? Is it suspicious login activity / attempts or suspicious activity like the person here is describing? Am I doing something suspicious or is a nefarious 3rd party doing something suspicious?
Thankfully I don't really use PayPal for anything important and I never will given the terrible stories I've hear for most of my adult life.
Like being accused of a crime, but not told which crime, so you "don't game the legal system".
