Speaking of Paypal, yesterday I tried to sign in as I had received some payments from msc I wanted to transfer to my bank. Well I was locked out. I have my landline listed but Paypal now requires a smart phone number. I do not use my cell often so do not want any messages or whatever sent by text rather than email which I do look at daily. They refused to give me access and also refused to send me my money. So their policy now is no cell phone no paypal account. I will have to break down and change my number or I will not be able to mystery shop for many companies but I am not thrilled with so many companies making a cell phone a requirement to deal with them. I found out that 15% of the US does not have a cell but there are even more especially older people who have no idea how to use them beyond perhaps a phone call.
For john's concern, yes I would change the password unless this is a person you know and you had given them temporary permission. If so I would speak with them and have their number replaced with yours.
