I don't use PayPal but was told by a user that their 2FA SMS system isn't really a second factor, but rather it replaces the password. Basically when you log in (with username only) it sends you an SMS code and you enter the code to log in with no password necessary. So basically this becomes a single factor.
I hope they got rid of this feature now and went back to "traditional" 2FA requiring both a password and code.
