    SMS is the preferred 2FA, so they'll need a mobile number for that.
    Might be that the app requires permissions which access your number for such purposes, to tie it to your 2FA sort-of thing?

    Well I gave the app a number to set it up, but as the app then worked twice straight, I can't see what more there should be to it after that. It may well be their (PayPal's) preferred 2FA, but hard lines to that - they offer you 3 options, so they can lump it.

    Incidentally on the first app-authed login to PayPal they then offered me the 'trust this device?' tickbox, which was still there unticked the next time, so what is point of that.
