How do I stop the two-factor autentication notifications from continuously popping up on my phones? I already turned this feature off on my apple id account. My phones keep popping up notifications even though I've never set up two-factor autentica

This does not work, it just keeps coming up an hour later asking me to use two factor authentication. Even the apple support people highly recomend against two factor autentication because it constantly gets messed up and locks you out. it simply causes major problems and data loss they said. So why does Apple keep popping up annoying me to turn on something that is buggy and causes data loss? , i said no at least ten times now and it keeps coming back...

So Friggin Aggravating. An apple rep on phone advice me to not use their two factor authentication because it does nothing but cause headaches and lock outs. Yet now apple forcing me into it, i clear message and it comes back less than a hour later. My guess i have 5 year old iPad and they want me to buy new that i can't afford. So first they make it run butt *** slow with their forced updates and now they are probably trying to lock up my devices like they did you.. So Frustrated... also i wanted to push helpful button on your post and apple has it grayed out so that we can't raise you post to the top. Thus why i am responding. I hope some how you got things worked out...

Hi again, Billparn! Ok, since your message ending with asking Apple to put out a patch to quit annoying us with these two factor authentication notices, they are not allowing me to access your message! Your point has already been demonstrated!!!

Hi As Well KimVonBerg, first time using apple support and yep they censored and deleted my message. Obviously you are correct, apple and/or it's employees are anti make america great. Well i will be. America is no longer Free with bemamoths like this.

i guess apple has no desire to fix the problem, you do what Apple says or else. What good is a support forum if they are going to delete our requests for help to get around an annoying bug or intemtional popup to turn a feature on we don't want. Why dont they just answer with a solution rather than delete my posts and request for help. Grrr, apple really losing me here, was gonna get my Dad an iPad for Christmas, Apple just made me decide it will not be an Apple tablet now.

They probably ban me for good now... Peace Out KimVonBerg..

i am guessing Apple did not want public a reminder of their troubled past and bail out by MFST..

if you ever find a solutin or workaround to Apples bug (undocumented featur) i hope you can somehow notify me through this column.

I'll do what I can, Billparn, to make sure they don't ban you - as long as they don't ban me too! I think everything you are saying is great.. and I would not blame you for switching to another kind of tablet for your dad for X-mas.

I wish one of these Apple people would just take care of this problem!

I travel out of the country and switch to a local SIM card (removing my Verizon SIM card). I often travel where there isn't Wifi. For me, there is no way to use 2 factor authentication. Having these alerts several times a day to "turn it on,"is annoying like others here complain about and we simply just want to "opt out" of this feature.

In addition to this annoying two-factor messaging, now we find out Apple slowed down my iPhone 5 to the point I had to upgrade to the iPhone 7. What a lame excuse, they did it to improve my battery experience. Let's see how long that one stands up in court. Go class action teams!

Hey, how did you end up fixing it anyways?

How did you fix it? I'm having the same issue and I've tried everything.

Apple will have to fix this. You can turn it off by using the link that is sent to your Apple ID email each time the IOS updates turn it on.

Just ignore it. Problem solved.

You really should be using two-factor authentication. Your account could get hacked if you don't use it. These days you need the extra security to stop hackers

Thanks, tvanslooten, that worked!

Can some technician from Apple please help us here? How do we get those notices to turn on the Two-Factor Authentication to stop - when we don't want to turn it on?

After you disable it in settings, next time the phone is locked swipe left or right and it will give you an option to CLEAR it. Once you clear it, you should not see it again.
