I have been a member of Paypal for decades. Recently almost every time I go to log in there is a request for verification to finish logging in. I choose to receive a text and is says it is unable to and to try another option. I am using the number verified on my account. Sometimes I get the option to receive a call and sometimes it is not there. I do not use Whatsapp and that is not an option. I also refuse for security reasons to put my photo id online where that is accessible. The only option is to put in my credit card number which is a pain. I called Paypal and not only were they not understanding but seemed to easily dismiss my question. When I mentioned not receiving the text they said to 'try another way'. The person I spoke with was surprised I would not put my id online and questioned why. They said I would just have to put my credit card number in every time, then. Not something I want to do. Any thoughts?

I have a similar problem. Had 2 new credit cards which ask for verification. One option is a code via a text (but the 3 numbers at the end are not mine and don't relate to the phone numbers I have on my account). The other option is PINsentry which I'll have to order.
