Help about iPhone

Hello. Not long time ago, I bought Samsung phone and wanted to transfer all iCloud data from my 5s iPhone to it but there is a problem with deactivating Two Factor Autentification on it. I have tried over appleid.apple.com, and security sector does not have a link for turning TFA off. Tried through old e-mails, didnt seem to find the one of TFA being activated. Watched it on YouTube and I dont seem to have a solition by my self. If you be kind, help me with this one. Thanx in advance

Two Factor Authentification (TFA) Circle I recently upgraded my iPhone 11 to ios 14 and regret it. I have a number of Apple ID's for various games I play and it forces me to either enter my details for TFA or it forces me to "not upgrade each and every time. I would be happy to not upgrade them but it only holds that for the current session and once you log out and back in you start at the beginning. My real issue is that when I enter my details for TFA, it takes me back to the log in (filled out) and when I try to continue it asks me to enter my TFA info again.....over and over. **I should add that at no point does it say I have entered anything wrong ** How do I stop this? I want to do this ONCE and never again. This is such a hassle as it adds 8-10 steps in what should be a very simple process. HELP PLEASE!

WHY can't we disable 2FA? Before the lazy comments about my account being more than 14 days - I don't have an active phone number, and my iphone is circling the drain - during use, the battery depletes faster than it charges. I'm switching to android for my phone, but I plan on getting an ipad in the next year. However, without a phone number or my trusted device (my iphone), I won't be able to verify/login, even with my password. The phone is not being kept - it's a fire hazard at this point, and I'm not buying a new battery just to maintain a trusted device. As of right now, I'm in the process of copying everything on icloud elsewhere. If I get an ipad, I want to be able to login to my account, using my username and password. I'm not asking much here. I do not want to try to recover my account using apple's automated system - automated systems are comparatively dumb, often leading to dead ends. More importantly, I should not have to recover my account because apple is forcing me to "lose" it. I should just be able to disable 2FA, or at least implement an alternative factor like an authenticator. This is partially just a rant, but if I've missed anything in the documentation or anyone has encountered this before, advice is welcome. I REALLY like Apple's design. But I'm considering clearing out and closing my icloud / account before I lose control of it, and that's just... Incentive to not come back to ios.

TFA Two Factor Authentication workaround? Is there any way around the Two-Factor Authentication? I don't always carry my iPhone around the house & sometimes it's downstairs Charging and I'm upstairs using my Windows PC for this site. TFA gets to be really annoying. Can the TFAs be sent somewhere other than to my iPhone, like to an email or an app on my Windows 10 PC that I’m on when I want to use this site? Please don’t tell me that I just need to get this home PC added as a Trusted Device. I tried that in another Question here last week and they had me doing things with logging into iTunes and iCloud and picking Trust This Device and we simply couldn’t get it to work. I hate it that Microsoft put their Nokia Lumia Windows phones in hospice & then let them die, forcing us longtime loyal Microsoft people to move to iPhones or Androids 👎 While I’m with you experts, why does it warn me to not Share that 6-digit code with anyone? Is that # a key to something that never expires?

Two factor can't be turned off.

Recycle it.
