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.

I don't walk around with two different devices to have it verified constantly with them. This 2-factor bull apple is forcing on us is totally crazy. They need to give us a choice to not have it. I can't change the credit card on my apple pay they make me have one for, without linking the new one, and it means I have to turn this nasty 2-factor bull on and that means they frustrate me from here on. I have a constant reminder to turn it on on my apple 13 pro max which is a horrible device because if you talk to someone and while talking look something up on your phone you can't go back to talk and can't hang up either unless they hang up, imagine that. Apple has gone crazy on us, they don't think of the effect of what they force something on us when they do that thing. like I am always gonna have two devices with me! :-)))) never ! Who thought of that ? oh apple

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.


If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.
