Why is the already existing 2 factor authentication mechanism not good enough and instead paypal tries to enforce mobile numbers and the much less secure sms transaction? Dear PayPal, as a person who constantly travels countries and as such constantly have to switch phone numbers this SMS authentificafion nonsense is simply not possible and feasible. You do have a working 2 factor auth which, by everything i can read about the SCA is perfectly suitable and sufficient. My own bank does use such measures and does not enforce sms tans. Please revise the further limitation of your service by narrowing down on the actual ways to 2 factor authenticate. If paypal finds itself unable to approach this topic, in my case i will just stop using paypal alltogether. And this is simply not debatable, I will not settle for a less secure and much more limiting method than i currently already use.
