Hello ~ Take a look here by clicking on below…
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.
So …no you can’t.
