Re 2-step authentication

Is there no longer any way to do 2-step authentication on PayPal?  It looks like the only way now would be to get the app, and I'm not sure how that would work, either.  Used to get a text message to cell phone.  I feel uneasy about the security of using PayPal, if I  would be forced to deal with it using my cell phone, as I dislike doing anything involving money that way. ...

I don't always check the statements immediately, but tonight I did and noticed that in April and March, There was listed a "General Credit Card Deposit" of $7.99, exactly the amount that PayPal automatically pays out for me to Netflix every month. It feels as if Netflix were giving me credit back for months when I didn't use their service, but that can't be, can it? So where is this $7.99 coming from, and why would there be a deposit like this? I have no $7.99 refunds or payments coming TO me that I am aware of.   My PayPal account is only linked to my credit card, not bank account. ... View more

Deleted email address now appearing as login addy

I removed an old email address from my account this morning, keeping the same primary address I have had for a long time, only to find that now the deleted address is appearing in the login box. I closed my browser (FireFox) and tried again and again, with the same result.   Of course, I can type in the correct primary address every time I log in from now on, but it is annoying and very disconcerting, that a company handling a lot of our money can have things like this go wrong.   Will PayPal fix this, or does someone else have any idea what to do, or do I have to delete my primary address in order to have it appear at login (which wouldn't make sense)? ...
