Lock Down PayPal, Venmo, Cash App and Zelle

    Make this app unattractive to a credential-stuffing or scam-payment attacker.

    What to do

      • Use a unique password and authenticator-app 2FA
      • Turn on PIN / biometric confirmation for every payment
      • Set per-payment and weekly limits
      • Restrict who can request money from you (friends only)
      • Switch the funding source to a credit card where possible
