paypal resets password from inactivity
 

I have been getting emails recently for some of my paypal accounts that paypal has reset the password due to inactivity.........

is this a new occurrence within their security measurement?

or is this common place from a long time ago?

"PayPal is looking out for you
At PayPal, your security is a top priority. It’s been a while since your last login, so we’ve taken extra precaution to confirm that your PayPal account is secure and have assigned your account with a temporary password.

You will need to reset your password to access your PayPal account. "

I would say it's a phishing attempt. Have you tried to log in?

Really seems like a phishing attempt, I don't think PayPal can do that.
