I recently created a new PayPal account. Got locked out almost immediately after adding 2FA via TOTP. First login worked, on the second login I just got a message that they were unable to verify it's really me. When contacting customer service, I was told that this is a known problem and I should just write them an email so they can remove 2FA from my account and then readd it a few days later myself.

When signing up it also told me my provided contact details weren't correct because I had a forbidden special character in the password that I typed in the previous form. Took a while to figure that one out.
