I'm not seeing the 'login with an OTP' option that TFA complains about, also not in a private tab. I was using the fake elonmusk address from the article and also tried over a VPN pretending to come from the US (I'm actually located in the EU).

Also, I don't like the condescending tone of the article, implying that everyone at Paypal is a moron who has no idea what they're doing.



I suspect in the EU they don't do that due to the PSD2 requirement to have two-factor.


I'm in the EU and don't see this option. Maybe the EU rules is protecting us?


Do you have a mobile phone number associated with your account? I'm assuming it's not a US number - perhaps they only do this for those.


Yes, I have a non-US number in my account, so that could be a reason, too.
