I have disabled the 2-step verification as I am the sole user of my home computer, and am frequently logging onto my account. I received a confirmation email stating that it was disabled. However, every time I try to login or make an online payment it requests a text code. The same happens on my IPhone even with face recognition login.
This is so annoying and I cannot find any other way to disable it.
Is this an IOS issue as I am using IMac and IPhone?
Is there a way to keep logged in for a longer period?
Tried to reach out to customer service but it always says they are unavailable, as I am in UK.
Not sure if I have missed something blatantly obvious but any help or advice would be great please.

Tried turning it off twice. Even got a conformation email from Paypal, but no luck, I still cannot view my account or make a payment without being made to enter a code via text. Have emailed about this Three times now and had no help.

More information that may explain that >>>
Please note that you may still need to go through 2-step verification in accordance with PSD2 even if you’ve previously opted out or set your device as trusted.
