How to disable two factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is enabled by default on new Apple IDs and cannot be turned off.

If you have an old account and recently activated Two Factor Authentication note this section of an Apple support article:

"Two-factor authentication for Apple ID" - https://support.apple.com/HT204915

-->

"Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?

... 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 ..."

Just curious, why do you think you want to disable 2FA?

The only time you actually use it is when logging-in to you critical AppleID / iCloud applications from an UNTRUSTED computer.

You hardly ever interact w/ it at all.

It’s a huge protection for your account and is incredibly unobtrusive.

This writeup does a good job ox explaining how it REALLY works.

Don’t believe all the “noise” you often see online.

Re: “… I will decide when and where activate 2FA if I consider it necessary …”

Noted.

Read my post. You should get an email with the option to request cancellation of 2FA.
