turn off 2 factor authentication

Lets just say that in all likihood that’s NOT going to happen.

It’s simply how Apple - along with the other “players” in the tech sector - is protecting their network and their users.

So … What problems are you having using 2FA with which we might help?

You might also carefully read and absorb the info contained in these two articles:

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

Hello,

I see you want to disable two-factor authentication. For some background I suggest you read the document: "Two-factor authentication for Apple ID" - Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

Several years ago Apple transitioned to using two-factor authentication for additional account security. Accounts created since that time automatically use two-factor authentication and this cannot be disabled.

Some people have older accounts from before two-factor authentication was mandatory on new accounts. Apple encourages those users to transition to two-factor authentication when signing in on their accounts because without it "your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security." Those owners of older accounts who just activated two-factor authentication have two weeks to change their minds and return to older security settings.

If you have an older account, recently activated two factor authentication, and you're within the two week period for turning it off again, you should check for an email from Apple for a way to do this. If you don't see one about this, look in your junk mail folder.

You are 100% correct about choice.

We all consciously decide whether or not to use:

• Mobile Devices
• Smart Devices
• Particular Provider Networks

No one is twisting anyone’s arm.

Using Apple’s network is a choice.

Apple is a control freak! I want choice.
