White overlay on top of authentication so can't login on iphone

For about a month when I try to make a payment, whether via the Facebook app, or safari, or in the Paypal app itself, I can't make it to the authentication code screen. I can see it, but there is a "processing" overlay on top of it, so I can't actually enter my authenticator code. I deleted the app, restarted my phone, deleted paypal from my authenticator, added the app back on my iphone and same result. I can log into paypal on my desktop using text authentication, but it won't let me change my password, I don't have the option to turn off 2 factor authentication under Settings/Security, and it won't even let me change my authentication method to text or setup my autenticator app again. I click 'update' and it just sits there; nothing happens. 

 

Ultimately, I use Paypal solely on my phone so needless to say, Paypal isn't my #1 payment method anymore.
