On my phone (Android, Moto Edge) the contents of text messages are hidden on the lock screen. I'm pretty certain that this is the default behaviour in recent versions of Android that I've seen.
So, at least for me, anyone who stole my phone for the purpose of hacking my paypal account would still need my fingerprint or unlock pattern. Someone with a non-smart phone will have a different experience though.
And yeah, sms is a poor choice from a technical pov but i can see why they did it for a mass-market service.

- FinnKuhn 4y agoNot sure if it is the default, but you can definitely have it set up this way on iPhone to an I would recommend you do.
