There is a way to regain access to your Paypal account.
I used this when I forgot to change the 2fa phone number before they started enforcing it, thus leaving me no way to log in.
Use a browser / computer you haven't ever used for Paypal.
Incognito/Private browsing mode will probably be sufficient.
Go to the normal Paypal login.
Try to reset your password via "forgot my password".
Follow the instructions; security code etc.
Set a new password and confirm it.
Paypal will now log you in.

- nxtbl 6y agoIt should work - I had an old, unusable number in file, too. If it doesn't, please try again and make sure they haven't "seen" your browser/device before. Temporarily even install a new browser if necessary.
