How can I remove 2 factor authentication?

I want install some software on an iphone X, but 2 factor authentication needs to be turned off. Apple has made it impossible to remove. Any thoughts on how to disable this feature?

"Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?


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."
