So you carry a mobile all the time .. That makes you a massive security risk as ALL of your data is on the phone and phones are easily lost ans stolen in millions daily. It is easy to hack a mobile as Android is not very secure and there are several hacks to gain entry and extract your data ..... My Laptop and PC NEVER leave the house , their security is far higher . I can hack a mobile inside 1 hr but my security on my computers is not so easily hacked and as they never leave the house they are far less likely to be open to hacking. If I am away and wish to pay I use a credit card and Pin . Paypal are about to lose my account which will cost them a significant income. I only took it out to use Ebay and now Ebay have distanced from Paypal and I mostly use my credit card .. faster and easier . Their own website says " What changes will I see when using PayPal? Most of the time you'll log in or pay with PayPal by entering your email address and your PayPal password as usual. We may sometimes ask you to confirm your identity. The easiest way is via the PayPal App. Make sure you authorise push notifications from the PayPal App. Click here to download the PayPal App. You'll also have the option to enter a one-off passcode which we will send by SMS to the phone number you've registered with us; or via a phone call if you have a landline. What do I need to do? Check that your current telephone (mobile and/or landline) number is correct in your PayPal account Profile. If we need to ask you for a one-off passcode, we can send it by SMS to your mobile phone number or via phone call to your landline, so your payment or login won't be delayed. For easy authentication, you can also download the PayPal app. If we need to confirm your identity, you can open the PayPal App to provide confirmation. When will I need to enter this code? Do I need to do it every time I log in or pay? Most times, we'll be able to verify your identity using the PayPal password you’ve typed and the device you're using (if it’s one of your usual devices). So, you may continue to log in to your PayPal account or pay with PayPal as usual, using your email address and your PayPal password." BUT I am ASKED EVERY TIME I LOG ON even just to view my account .. for the digit code and a mobile!
