You can't turn off two-factor authentication if it has been on longer than two weeks. See the "Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?" section of Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


Regarding the iPhone 3GS, lso see the following from that same link:


What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?

If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.
