PayPal 2FA Bypass

Recommended Posts

Recently I was in a hotel needing to make a payment, there was no phone signal so I could not receive my Two Factor Auth token. Luckily for me Paypal’s 2FA took less than five minutes to bypass.

 

Proof of Concept
Step 1: Login with a valid username and password, click on the “Try another way” link.

Step 2: Enter any answer for security questions.

Step 3: Using a proxy, remove “securityQuestion0” and “securityQuestion1” from the post data.
