2-factor authentication

I enrolled in 2-factor authentication today, I would like to un-enroll, but did not receive an email because my email was not verified at the time. How do I un-enroll without the confirmation email?

Once enrolled, you cannot un-enroll -- 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 within two weeks of enrollment. 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."
