Removing two factor authentication

How do I undo two factor authentication? It is horrible. What is the point of having a passcode AND facial Id recognition if I Also have to do 2FA? It is incredibly inconvenient and even dangerous. What if the other "trusted device" is lost, or in the hands of the bad guy trying to get into the device in the first place? Allow us to turn this off, for the love of God.

From the article below. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off. 


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, however, you can unenroll for a period of 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 a higher level of security.
