See the following from: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it

off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require

this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your

information. If you recently updated your account, you can unenroll for

two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the

link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this

makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features

that require higher security.
