PayPal security code not coming to MacBook anymore.

Hi, my PayPal security code used to come to both my computer and my iPhone but lately are only going to my iPhone. Is this a recent change?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6

Hello Heleentje,


It sounds like you are not receiving SMS messages to your Mac to verify your PayPal account, is that correct? If so, you may need to set up Text Message Forwarding using these instructions:


How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support


This will allow you to receive SMS/MMS text messages on your Mac.


Have a good day.
