And you won’t. If you added it to your AppleID less than 14 days ago, use the link in the email you received to disable it. If it’s been more than 14 days though, your window of opportunity to remove it is gone.


Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


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.”
