Complete BS, another phone holder on my account turned on this two factor crap, now I cannot get rid of it .... just another reason to stop using Apple products ....
From the article below. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off.
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.

It was my wife, she was trying to configure something to follow our kids phone. The 2FA is tied to an Apple ID and every device on that ID. Unfortunately when my account was setup in order to track my families phones, they had to be tied to my Apple ID. When the code verification for 2FA pops up it pops up on every device that is tied to that ID.

As designed.
Do you have a technical question about 2FA? Rants are not allowed here.

It would be great if there was a way to turn it off ........ is there a technical way to do that??
No.
But you knew that when you first posted. Right before your threat to move to another phone platform.
2FA of some sort is becoming standard for online account providers. Google. Facebook. Instagram.
2FA is configured to a trusted phone number and Apple ID.
Why would someone else be using your Apple ID and phone?
Anyone using an AppleID has the right to enable 2FA. If you don’t want people changing things with your AppleID then why let anyone else use or know your AppleID?
