Hi Everyone
How do I turn off password recovery/reset by text in paypal. I have learned that 2 stage verification and options to reset passwords by text message are much less secure than just password. Someone managed to take over my phone number without having physical access to phone or sim and reset bunch of accounts and also compromised my paypal yet a lot of websites are unaware its possible and require phone number as recovery.
I am not going to use my paypal until I find the way to disable that option
