Make sure that you're still signed in to iCloud on each of your devices. You might be asked for your Apple ID password.

  1. Sign in to appleid.apple.com.
  2. In the Sign-In and Security section, click Account Security.
  3. Click Turn Off two-step verification. Click again to confirm...."

Two-step verification and Two-Factor Authentication are two different things. Apple hasn't used Two-Step Verification in a number of year. What is now used is Two-Factor Authentication. I suspect you may actually have Two-Factor Authentication.


If you created the Apple ID recently, it will have Two-Factor Authentication enabled automatically and it cannot be turned off. If you have an older Apple ID and enabled Two-Factor Authentication within the last 14 days, you may be able to turn it off by going to the link in the confirmation email.
