I WANT TO TURN OFF TWO FACTOR VERIFICATION!!!!! It is a total pain in the butt and I want the option to turn it off. Help!!!!! How can apple not allow us to turn this time-suck feature off? I want to register my frustration.

Older browser would be my guess.

Like this? This documentation is readily available to Apple ID users before they enable 2FA.

Yep. We all face that. Caveat Emptor.

Or, as we used to say, back in the old days, RTFM.

Sadly, RTFM is often usurped by TL'DR these days.

Well, the support document for 2FA is noticeably shorter than this thread. But, of course, most people seem to be posting at the ends of threads, not reading the whole thing.

ah yes... the chat discussion...

Pretty disingenuous to shut down the option to toggle on/off - without any notification - AFTER you have opted in under different terms!

Classic bait and switch.

Not really sure how any definition of bait and switch can be applied to a product without a cost.

I didn't say I thought it was reasonable!

Which part of bait and switch requires a cost? It’s merely present one thing, then deliver another.

I'm sick of it too. My cell phone is off when I'm home, and I'm almost always home! No one else is here. No one is trying to break into my account except the idiots in my emails.

I think my girlfriend used

Please contact Apple directly here using this link below.

Product Feedback - Apple

Pick a product and indicate your concerns or suggestions,

It took me a while to figure out but I did, and how you undo two factor is : you got an email when you set it up, in that email it has the option to go back to original security setting, all you do is click on it, then it askes you the security Q's you have already on your acct...……..but you need that link from the original email right after you added it on ….good luck ! I know it totally sucks out loud...…..I had it on for 1 day only horrible

Pretty sure Apple has gone the way of a lot of firms in Silicon Valley and hired some really really dumb but arrogant product managers that think they know what's best for everyone.

If you're going to impose something like this as a requirement, think about usability. The constant annoying pop ups and extra logins on the wrong devices, etc, means that this is not ready to be GA. Did you outsource both your product management and QA team to someplace where accountability is non-existent?
