Since Pine64 is also about protecting privacy, perhaps it's a good idea to look for an alternative besides Paypal.
In NL they are starting to force you to use a mobile number for 2FA.
They present it as if Paypal is being forced by PSD2, but that is complete BS.
I don't want Paypal to directly access my bank account (or credit card), so I don't want to enable PSD2 access.
Luckily you can still get free sim cards in NL without doing a financial transaction, so you can work around it and still keep your privacy as much as possible.
But I'm not sure if that's still possible in all European countries.
