Hello
I registered a new apple ID on my new device (Mac Book) only for me to find out that Two Factor Authentication was automatically turned on. The issue now is i've been trying to turn it off but the column for that isn't coming means i can't actually turn it off. Please i really need you guys to assist me as I would love to turn the Two Factor Authentication Off at all cost.
Kindly advise on the next step.

I'm afraid you won't be able to turn it off. People who have a device which didn't have it on and they turn it on can turn it off again, but only in the first two weeks. However where it's on by default (which is increasingly going to be the case) it's not possible to remove it. Apple are doing this for security reasons because it provides a strong protection - even if someone manages to find out hyour ID and password they still can't get into your ID without your trusted device (which should be protected by a passcode - 2FA protects the Apple ID, not devices).

See if anything here helps. If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.
Verification code - how to get one and sign in with two-factor authentication.
And in a case whereby i misplace my number and the only device my apple ID is signed, then got a new device ; won't i face challenges ? i just wanna be sure of what i'm doing so i don't fall a victim.
If you change your mobile number, log into your Apple ID, and change the number on your ID. Sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers before making the change.
So if i happen to change my mobile number/ misplace my number what would be my case ??
All your devices can be 'trusted,' so when you sign into your Apple ID the code goes to all of them.
No Option to turn Off Two-Factor Authentication
