create a new user in win 10, i have seen some issues while using vmware somehow paypal do detect it

creat a new browser profile. no point to crate a new windows user..
by the way paypal could also detect that you are another user on the same pc. you still have the same webgl canvas and device id fingerprint

Make sure you have the same cookies/sessiondata/IP range/location when you access PayPal. Changing variables like these will always throw security prompts from PayPal (captcha, SMS verification, etc).

It is also detrimental for your account.

There are many anti fingerprinting browsers now, why use VM?

Maybe there is someone is still using the users on pc instead than the virtual machine and is doing better

Its not about VMware or Win10. They ask sms verification every time even on old accounts.

If you login in the same user and keep the cookies it shouldnt ask for the sms, they never ask to me or only in the first attempt but rarely

Of course. Cookies and caches are your friends.

Thanks for the reply. I did the same. I was curious about if there is any threshold like "maximum days of keeping cookies/cache" or not.

I didn't read it too. I also didn't receive any email from Paypal about that.

That's the new one:
----New PSD2 Regulations change the way you log in with PayPal. If your mobile number isn’t up to date access will be disrupted. Please check your Profile now. -----
