    Hello

    I have a paypal account and I want to add another email to it but the problem is that someone else also has access to that email and i dont want them accessing the account, how do I therefore add an email to my PayPal account that could be used only to receive payments but it wont be able to log into the account?

    You can't do that. The Paypal account will require you to enter an email address and a password in order to access your account and to move funds out of the account. Just ensure that no one has access to your paypal password and you be fine.

    The trouble with Paypal is that the password associated with the primary and secondary email accounts are the same.

    No PayPal will send notification of payment for your primary email address only.

    Well you can only add your second ID and access throgh your primary email address only. You don't need to set Password for Secondary email addesss.

    No, if payment is made to the primary account, the notification only goes to the primary account. If it goes to the secondary then only the secondary one is notified.

    This way you can associate different businesses that you have with different email account.
