Why am I being asked to verify a security code & do additional checks every time I log into PayPal?

I have a business account that is about a month old now, & I've noticed that every time I log in I’m required to verify a security code & complete another security check (like receiving a text, confirming my card, or getting an email). It’s becoming quite frustrating!

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a new security measure, or is there something specific to my account that’s triggering it? I’d appreciate any insights or tips on how to manage this better. Thanks!

I started having this problem now- 100% of my logins are now required to get a texted security code and enter it(no, I don't have 2FA turned on).  I can understand it happening once, but once I get a code and enter it, shouldn't that browser be a trusted browser from then on?  It's ridiculous.  I called PayPal and got a bunch of generic "We take your account security seriously" stuff.  They could not address that specific question.  I don't want forced 2FA from them.  Why the sudden pain?
