Had similar recently after deleting a dispensable email account. Paypal insisted on sending a one-time pass code (OTP) to the deleted email addy before it would replace it with my new offering. I had no practical option other than to close my Paypal account which then presented me with two options. I like it when any outfit makes it an easy decision to make and I don't miss Paypal one iota. The expenses fiddlers should in my opinion legislate to try to prevent this happening by insisting on a plan B for outfits who insist on using OTP's. It is also long overdue for them to bring email providers in to line by making them provide email bouncing as an option as standard. Presently most email users are used as clickbait by the providers who force unsolicited and/or unwanted emails on to them. The only option for most to stop the spam is to delete their email addy and use another one which is not without aggravation and problems as already touched on.
