Can you opt out of phone verification?

Every time I want to make a simple payment or do anything with PayPal. I have to go through captcha verification (If I have to click on another traffic light again I'll go mad) followed by having a text message to my phone with a code.

 

It's now much easier just to pay someone directly via credit card than to use Paypal.

 

Is there a way of opting out of the phone verification? I'd also suggest replacing Recaptcha with something less annoying.

Sadly not, pain isn't it.

Yep, big time 🙂

Looks like its back to entering credit card numbers. Less hassle.

Thanks
