A few weeks ago, PayPal forced me to add my mobile phone number and now every time I log in, the default option is to authenticate with a text message on my phone.
I never asked for that, and I don't want that.
Because of the real threat of SIM swapping, login via code sent over text message is not secure.
There doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off in my profile. Please advise.
