2 Factor authentication turned itself on and now I cant turn it off

2 Factor authentication turned itself on and now I cant turn it off. I work in an environment where personal mobile and laptops are not allowed in the office. Now i cant log into apple site and its driving me nuts. I didnt want it turned on but it is and now I cant turn it off. Angry doesnt describe it. How can Apple turn stuff on without your consent.......

iPhone 7, iOS 13

2 Factor Authentication


Two-factor authentication for Apple ID


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.
