I've tried to remove two-factor authentication but I am unable to do it

Hey!!

I've tried to remove two-factor authentication but I am unable to do it as apple is not allowing me to do so. Please help me to get out of these verification's. Phone isn't allowed in my office thats why I mostly needs to log in to my apple ID to get some numbers but I couldn't do it because iCloud always sends code on phone and there is no other option to get verified like email or some security question. I seriously need to remove two factor authentication so please help me with it.

It would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

From the article below. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off. There has been some posts that state the article is no longer correct and now you can't turn it off, but I haven’t been able to verify that.

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, however, you can unenroll for a period of 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 a higher level of security.
