Two Factor Authentication

I have had this less than two months, but am blocked to remove it.


I receive notifications even if I am logged in and have already authenticated - this is a ridiculous mess and annoying.


Had I known this would happen I would not have done it.


If I get a new phone will this be automatically transferred to that phone as well?


If so then I will get an Android.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 12

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 ..."


It is on your Apple ID, not on any particular item of hardware.
