No option to turn off two factor authentication

I want to shut off the two factor verification. I looked at the instructions online, and it says to got to appleid.apple.com, and then shut it off under the security section. However, when I try to edit that section, I have no link to shut it off. How do I shut off the two factor verification when it's not given to me as an option?User uploaded file

As Apple customers we should have the right to decide if we want to continue two part security thing or not. This is a bunch of crap. I'm grown I can decide for myself what is secure enough and what isn't

Thanks Idreas. I really do appreciate the time you and others take to give help on this forum. Unfortunately I did try to put a thread on it, but I was told:

“We’ve removed your post Two factor authentication is a security problembecause it contained either feedback or a feature request that was not constructive”

All I had said is that all the old advice on the Apple two factor authentication (as with the thread above which is the one that tops google on searches) is no longer valid because Apple went and changed the rules and now we can’t opt out of this forsaken two factor nightmare.

I suggested that you start a new post explaining precisely the problems you are having with 2FA, not another post complaining about 2FA. It's here to stay. Either learn how to use it or don't. I'm happy to help you learn but have no vested interested in making sure that you do.
