Before enableing 2FA I'm looking for PayPal's 2FA recovery procedure in case I loose my autheticator app and phone. I can't seem to find any clear information on this in the help. Are there recovery codes that I should save?

Hello @dubidubno
Congratulations for your first post in the PayPal Community Help!
I am happy to help you with your inquiry about recovery procedure to access your PayPal account. If you lose your authenticator app or phone, you can access your PayPal account again by giving a call to the PayPal support team. There is no recovery codes to save to access your account again. You can get access by reaching out to the team. You can find the contact options to reach PayPal team in this article : How do I contact PayPal customer service?
Best wishes,
Bindu
