How to disable two-step authentication on Apple ID?

I would like to disable two-step authentication, it sometimes interferes with me and does not allow me to enter the Apple ID when my other device is not at hand.

Turn off two step authentication I want to turn off two step authentication. I can get into it now but I want it turned off. I have to many devices that I use that are not Apple and it's super annoying having to add and delete phone numbers and devices.

Two-Step authentication I see in the official support pages that once you've enabled Two-Step authentication, there's no turning back and you cannot disable it. When I purchased my recent iphone, this new authentication method was not optional if I remember correctly, and I had to follow it. I have only one Apple device, and this means that if someone steals my iphone, I'll be locked out of my account forever!!!! I have no desire to add a phone number of someone else who isn't me... This method of protection is somewhat over-protection since it's more likely to lock people out of their OWN account rather than protect them. I really think this feature needs to be re-thinked by Apple. Is there any way I can disable two-step authentication???
