Good day,
Today I tried to login to my paypal account, only to be redirected/forced to enter a mobile number and cannot continue. I called support and they indicated that there is no alternative. I don't have a mobile number, just a landline at work that I used to call them on. I can't believe that it's impossible now to have a paypal account in the United States without having a mobile number, that sounds ridiculous. I understand that companies want to implement some form of MFA, but only allowing a mobile number/SMS instead of other options like email verification codes, or a basic TOTP like so many other websites.
Can anyone confirm that there is no other way but the use of a mobile number needed to access your account?
