No this is an attempt to steal your account details.
Do not ever follow a link in a email and then enter account details!!!!!!

I would delete it Mav,

I've never been approached by Paypal to do such things.

Heed the spurious warning

Mav...I'd forward the email on to Paypal for their info.
I get two or three emails a week purporting to be from banks etc asking you to click a linkto update your security.
Yet more scam artists!
