Another posted the exact same question and it was dismissed saying PayPal would never do such a thing.
Well, I was adding a bank acct yesterday to transfer funds and PayPal popped up a username and password login for my bank.
Why?

what was the other question? – schroeder Mar 28 '23 at 18:47

PayPal doesn’t need your bank password, and they don’t actually want it. Nothing legal they can do with it. So whoever wants your bank password is not PayPal but a scammer. – gnasher729 Mar 28 '23 at 21:20

Now the answers to the other question claim that it might actually be PayPal! That’s even worse. They are professionals, they should know better. – gnasher729 Mar 28 '23 at 21:24

don't ever provide a bank login to any company (even if this isn't a scammer)... it means that they will store it (hopefully temporarily) in a reversible format. There are other ways they can confirm that you are the owner of the account. (for instance E-Trade sends a random/nominal amount of money to your account and then you confirm what the amount of the transfer was...) – browsermator Mar 28 '23 at 22:31
