Hi Paypal Community,
When trying to log into my account today, I am being asked to validate my account through my phone.
Unfortunately the phone number entered in my account is an old one, that I no longer use.
I would like to gain access to my account as soon as possible.
What other verification steps can I go through in order to secure this?
Thank you!

Thank you @sandypurins.
That worked for me.
@z423coolyoshi they just asked me for my name, e-mail address, and the last 4 digits of my account or credit card number. Then they re-opened it.
