How can I turn OFF Two-Factor Authentication on my iPhone? I am switching to an Android and turning my iPhone into my phone carrier as a trade-in. I will no longer be able to use my iPhone as a "trusted device" on which to receive an authentication code.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

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, 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.
Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require higher security.
