I've never turned on two-factor authentication and it shows as "turned off" on all my devices as well as the apple id account page. Despite this I get numerous notifications per day to finish turning on two-factor authentication. It is VERY VERY ANNOYING and nothing I've tried in Apple Forums will turn this stupid message off. Is this a sign it's time to switch to Android?

If you're not locked out and you have upgraded to a different phone like I did... here is how I did it via iCloud email..


iCloud settings / Apple ID Manage / Security / Turn off 2 step verification / log onto 2nd recovery email / use verification code send to email / create new security questions - Done...
