Unable to login with default business test account in paypal sandbox
paypal, paypal-sandbox
Solution
We are currently working to resolve this issue in Sandbox. If you attempt to reset your password from the application page in developer.paypal.com it does not actually change the password for that sandbox account. As a workaround, you can create a new business account by clicking the "Create Account" button at the top of the page. A fix is scheduled tonight to resolve this issue. I will update my answer as soon as this is resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Update: This issue is now resolved.
Thanks,
Problem
In the testing guide of paypal API https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/ug_sandbox it's mentioned in 2 locations When you register as a PayPal developer, the Sandbox automatically creates for you a Business test account and its associated test credentials and The Sandbox automatically creates your first Business test account when you sign-up for a Developer account on developer.paypal.com. This gives you a default set of merchant credentials that you can use immediately to test credit-card transactions. And that's what happened with me when I logged in at the new developer site using a live paypal account I found a business test account created as xxxx-facilitator@xxxx.com. Now I need to login at the sandbox using this account and I couldn't find in the account profile anything regarding the account password so I clicked the "Profile" link and clicked "Change Password" and entered a new password then clicked "Save" and it said "Password Updated" then when I try to login at sandbox.paypal.com it says "Please make sure you enter your email address and password correctly"
