Created Icloud on behalf of an foundation. Many people need access to the files and Two-Factor Authentication makes it difficult. I need to turn it off, but cant fine the right patch? Any good suggestions?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
Hello,
I see you want to disable two-factor authentication. For some background I suggest you read the support article: "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 indeed 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." However, the support article also says in tiny, light-grey font: "If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment." In other words if you have an older account, recently activated two factor authentication ("inadvertently" or not), 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.
Instead of people needing access to the account, consider using file sharing.
