Can't login to paypal

I can't login to paypal ever since the previous update. The new update did not fix this issue.
Paypal's first screen asks for email address. Upon hitting submit, the same login screen reloads. I've disabled all extensions, closed the broswer to upgrade to the latest version, and still no dice. I had to switch to (cough cough) Chrome to login to paypal.

Any ideas?

If you’re having trouble logging in, you may just need to clear your cache and cookies from your Internet browser. If you need help doing this, go to your browser's support page, or do a web search with "How do I clear cache and cookies in (Your Internet browser name and version, for example, Internet Explorer 11)?"

If you can’t log in because you forgot the email address or forgot your password connected with your PayPal account, you can recover access with these steps:

I forgot the email address for my PayPal account:

Open the PayPal app and tap Forgot your password? Or go to the password reset page on a web browser.
Enter up to three email addresses you may have registered, then click Next.
If an email address you entered is recognised we'll let you know which one.
Click Continue to log in if you remember your password

@varz1234 Thanks for the attempt to help. Clearing cache and cookies does not help and I for sure know about getting a new password.

The issue is, when hitting submit on the initial login page which just asks for email address without the password ( the password field comes up on the next screen) the page just refreshes itself back to email login page. Opera does not go to the next page which asks for the paypal password.

@oufuf
if you disable tracker blocking, can you log in?

@donq How do I turn that off? I do not recall ever turning that on

@oufuf
On paypal site, click on blue Adblock badge at the end of address bar, turn 'Block trackers' off. Or just 'Turn of for this site' to disable entire adblock functionality for paypal.
Do you have any more extensions active? Some privacy tools tend to block paypal internal redirects.

Re: Can't login to paypal
Opera is my default browser.
I tried to login into my paypal account two days back
I don't know why the password page never appears. And it is always back to login page. I tried after allowing all trackers, and advertisements, cleaning the cache fully, after disabling all extensions, still it did not allow me to go to the password page. I thought paypal might have issues.

Out of curiosity I tried other browsers.

Paypal worked fine with the firefox and brave browsers and did my business using firefox.

Any solutions.

Thank you

Have you cookies enabled? Paypal needs them.
Supposing you did stop all adblocking features, I would clear cookies for paypal and try again.

I've got the same issue (July 24 2023). Already tried clearing cache, disabling extensions and I don't use ad blockers, not even Oper's built-in one.

This morning I had to purchase something online with Paypal. I didn't know if it was going to go through but it did with no issues. So now everything seems to be working again.

Found this solution on reddit
I hope they fix it anyway

instead of using "www." use "m." in the paypal link

I hope you read it and it works for you

Had the same issue, no PP checkout working on my desktop with Opera, using the m. instead of www. solves the problem.

Back in the past you had to chose which country you were from to access PayPal. I'm currently having issues logging in to PP. I've found when I type in the URL it needs to be modified. I always have success logging in when I type paypal.com/us or if the URL is preloaded for you add the us/ as shown here paypal.com/us/sigin Might also work for other countries if you know what the country designation code is and substitue it for us/ As an example for Canada it might be ca/
Is it possible there's a setting that might be turned off not allowing Opera to access PayPal?
