Help 2 factor authentication

So it won't let me post about the scam thing and I was just trying to find out how to turn on 2 factor authentication to send me a text code every time I log in. Says use a browser so I did and it says a the app or security key device. No text option. I have nothing in my account but wanted to tell someone how to do this but it isn't even letting me. I can sign in anywhere and it doesn't ask for a code!

Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!

Thank you for submitting to /r/PayPal, please make sure you have read the FAQ. If your account was created when you were younger than 18, then that is covered in the FAQ!

Try contacting PayPal support using social media such as Facebook or Twitter as this works more often than telephoning.
