On the website it states Paypal's 2FA would only be available in the US and Canada.
However this can't be true, because at least for Germany I can say that SMS authentication is available there too.
Here is a screenshot:

That's the link: https://www.paypal.com/de/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_register-security-key-mobile

I've even heard that hardware-token-authentication is available in Germany (and maybe other countries too), but I couldn't verify this until now.

This should be addressed in #1026

Okay, however @Carlgo11 said that it would only be available in one country (meaning US) there, which is obviously not true.

Also more information about the hardware token. Now I can confirm that it's also available in Germany.

Ah, okay thanks. So we know now in which countries it's available. Great!

As described in 2factorauth#1072 PayPal supports 2FA in more countries than US/Canada.
Because of this I added this information.

The main issue of 2factorauth#1072 was something else, but PayPal also supports hardware token authentication.

@Carlgo11
Would you mind to ask if this list of countries where 2FA is available also applies to ebay?
Or does somebody already know whether it does or whether not?
