For information about turning off Apple two-factor authentication, see the following from: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

If you're already using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can't turn it off. If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment. If you do, your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security.


To get iCloud email in a 3rd party (non-Apple) app, use an app-specific password rather than your usual Apple password. See information in Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords - Apple Support
