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

I'm just trying to find out how to stop my phone from popping up notifications about two-factor authentication. I have turned this feature off on my apple id account and have never set it up on my phones. I am constantly seeing a pop up notification for two-factor authentication and my Setting app is constantly showing the red badge app icon notification. It is a bit annoying. Can anyone help? I've tried searching and am just too ignorant. I just get more and more frustrated trying to find some help.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.1

Dear Apple,

I DO NOT appreciate IOS updates automatically turning on Two Factor Authentication without my approval. This is very disruptive and I am FORCED to change all passwords for my Apple ID accounts and re-login on all of my devices and all accounts used on each.

BTW, I also DO NOT like the INVOLUNTARY downloads of IOS updates. This uses my network bandwidth, which I must pay for, and for uses that I have not approved.

Both of this items show poor judgement and lack of concern for your customers and a lack of trust that we know what to do for ourselves.

Please stop both of these practices!
