Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Anyone else have this issue? Every single one.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

What are you doing

every single time

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Are these all on one PC? Has anything on he PC changed?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Are you using a separate windows user account for each account? That right there might be your problem.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

How is this a problem?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Are you deleting cookies all the time? Don't need to if you keep separate user accounts per eB/pp account

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I use separate IP's and fresh user accounts, however, for multiple stealths I use different browsers for each. In other words, I'll use Chrome, Firefox and Explorer. I have be doing this for some time, but up until a month ago, it was very rarely I'd run into this.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

What did you do a month ago then?

Change anything?

Add or delete anything on the 'puter?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Somehow your calendar and clock times have changed. I guarantee this is the problem.

Go to your time and date settings and change them to today's date and time that will fix it. :thumb:

Daylight savings!!!

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Nope, they are correct.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

i know what u mean..happens when you are withdrawing or sending money
seems like a glitch

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Sometimes if you let the account cooldown for a few days, it will be fine.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

does this problem still exist for anyone?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

It totally does, yeah. It also seemed to be increased lately.

I get this annoying screen mostly when I'm trying to perform transactions involving banks, for instance sending echecks and adding funds.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Man, paypal exists.

What do you think?


:eek:

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

It happens to every account, every time. Adding a bank account, withdrawing money. It doesn't matter. It even happen to a "real" account I used for months until the other day when that got limited.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I have never once have had this issue. I wonder what the difference is.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Can you share how you set up accounts? What kind of IP are you using? mifi? tether?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Most of my accounts are on dedicated IP and I have ten on Comcast router swapping(usually keeps same IP for weeks and months per router/accounts combo)

I did swap PCs a handful pf times in a week about two weeks with no cookies and did not have an issue, but would have had the same IP.

I do use mifi and Ipad cellular accounts, but have not used them recently recently. I only use those for big items for local pickup because of the hassle of printing labels from IPad.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Hmm. I use a new user account for each account but am using a T-Mobile hotspot. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Most of my accounts are user accounts as well on a couple computers. I have been moving accounts to VMware so more than one account can be used at a time.
I use the switch app on Ipad(separate user accounts)

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

It's weird. Some of us get it no matter what, some of us don't at all. The funny thing is I can verify all these accounts with Virgin prepaid phones and Google Voice, while others insist these two methods dont work.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I get it sometimes still I just either wait a day or two an try again or if n a rush just call

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

How many accounts do u use on one ipad?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I have 12 but use them very sparingly because of the printing labels issue. I now only use them for big items such as ATV, tractors, dirtbikes, etc...that require local pickup only. Most when I buy and sell things for fun, not so much for profit.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I have been having similar issue with T-Mobile Hotspot. There was an update few days ago and it all started. took me several hours to fix the problem I was having. It would just not let me connect anymore.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Are you checking your IPs are new and unused?

T-mobile has a small range of IPs.

:spy:

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Connect the hotspot?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Does this happen to anyone else? I even changed IP's on my cable provider and I am still getting it.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I actually get my best range on T-Mobile. Hardly any repeats in couple years 3 times a day....

Yet my others like ATT are horrible repeat all the time. Might be a location and what towers they have or lease.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

How did you get an update on your hotspot?

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

I have no idea if this is true, but I finally was able to pry some information from a paypal agent. He said when you get this error and when you get the error "this phone number doesn't appear to be registered to you". He said, a SS# is the best way, but he also said, adding both a bank account, debit card and confirming mobile helps with this error. Also, clearing cache and cookies. No idea if it's true.

Re: Every account now says "we don't recognize this device"
 

Well I been having this problem so I bought new laptop last week opening new bank accounts and buying accounts from few trusted sellers on this forum. Thankfully I can live on my non-PayPal money but I would prefer not too. Probably should of done this few months ago when problems started.
