Same thing happened to me when I tried to update my phone number and address at the same time.

I never even provided my phone number to Paypal, then one day they started requiring me to use it to verify logins.

Two factor authentication for a financial website sounds like a good idea to me.

A phone number is not a factor of security, doesn’t matter how much every scummy data harvesting company tries to gaslight you into thinking it is, it fundamentally can never be.
