How to turn off two factor authentication

Many of you out there have probably had the same problem I had.

I went out and bought a MacPro and installed the latest Mac System on it. I was rushing through the log in and missed the system asking me to turn on two factor authentication. To me this is like a super disaster, sending authentication requests to my phone to authentication every time you need to add a new system . I have seven Macs, the disaster waiting were endless as it was now sending REQUESTS FOR ALL OF THEM . All of them were using that ID. I contacted Apple and I'm afraid I was not nice. I was able to turn it off eventually but ended with a two step verification and having to reset an id I had had for YEARS !

HOW TO DO IT: Ok, so you go to your browser appleid site and you go to security and there is no "turn off two step authentication". Why ? I don't know, ask Apple. It makes absolutely no sense. What you have to do is go to your email and find your "Two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID" email sent to the account linked to your apple ID , return follow the instructions "return to your previous security settings" for reseting your password which will ban you for using your old one for a year, why ? I don't know, ask Apple. It makes absolutely no sense. Then you will be forced to use a two step verification ( questions about your personal family life) but at least it isn't phone dependent where at least it isn't phone dependent.

So there you go, you lost your password, you are forced to authenticate in another way, you will have to change all your passwords on all your other machines and phones but at least.... you are alive 🙂
