Authentication required - I want rid of this NOW!!!

[DontBeNosy]

Absolutely god damn sick of this new "authentification needed" rubbish. I have just had to wait 15 minutes for your useless site to send me my code.

There are also times when I dont have access to my phone, not everyone treats a phone like their 6th organ you know and also, what about people who dont own a mobile phone? How are they supposed to access their Paypal account?

I want rid, surely this should be a personal choice? But much like with banks its more a control thing. Grab our phone numbers so you can spam us all kinds of rubbish

I ask again, what if you do not own a phone?

Oh and NO I am not a robot either....you can scrap that Captcha rubbish too.

Same here, I have currently been waiting 10 minutes+ for my sms and even tried the "we call you option" to no avail

What on earth is going on Paypal? Some answers wouldnt go amiss.

[DontBeNosy]

Great, just waited 15 minutes for my text off you. One problem, code runs out after 10 minutes

I demand this rubbish is taken off my account for gods sake.

[DontBeNosy]

This gets even better

I attempt to phone YOU up. Using phone number provided. Phone rings, get an answer, immediately phone gets put down?

WTF is going on this is insane?

I've spent/wasted the last  2 hours trying to find out why I can't get the text codes on my phone, then found out that everyone else has the same problem. So now not only can't I buy anything with Paypal, I can't even log into my account.

Useless.

[DontBeNosy]

Its an absolute shambles.

I guess they've fixed it, I just got a load of messages!
