Why Won't Paypal Work on My Phone?

I wanted to share something I learned today.  I searched everywhere online and couldn't find the answer.  I searched, "why won't paypal work on mobile?" "Why won't paypal work on my phone?" "Why won't paypal work on other apps?"  Every time I tried to use PayPal as a method of payment, I would get the never ending spinning circle and nothing would happen. 

 This didn't happen on the PayPal app, it happened while I was in Chrome or some other app, trying to buy something with PayPal.  Yet it worked fine when I was on my computer.  Other websites said to uninstall the paypal app and then reinstall it, but it wasn't the app that wasn't working.   It finally dawned on me to turn off 2-step factor verification.  So that's what I did and then I could finally use PayPal in other apps.  I mean, it wasn't even allowing me to get money out from ibotta to transfer to PayPal.  So finally it works.  Here's how PayPal says to do it:

 To turn off 2-step verification:
  1. Go to Profile. 
  2. Click Update next to "2-step verification."
  3. Click Turn off next to 2-step verification, then click the Turn Off button. 
And here's how I did it:
1.  Go to Profile Settings
2.  Click "Login and Security"
3.  Scroll down to "2-step verification" and click "Update."

Materials Storage Container with compartments Magic Erasers Scissors Ruler Pen Double-sided Tape First measure the compartment size.  If you are computer savvy, you can create your own spreadsheet using the measurements, and customizing it with your presser feet.  Or you can download the one I made here: pdf ms works Then cut out the magic erasers to fit the compartments.  I didn't need them for each compartment since some of my feet are pretty large. Then print out 3 sheets.  You will cut one, and use the other two for the lid of your organizer. Place the cut labels inside the ...

42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up.  There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable.  There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit .  The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses.  I couldn’t find any.  So….
