How to turn off two factor authentication?
You can’t.
(Sorry for the “harsh-sounding” reality)
What makes you think that you need to do so?
So … since you’re going to have to “live with it” …
Recommend that you carefully review and thoroughly digest the two fairly important and informative articles linked below.
Pay particularly close attention to thoughtfully selecting and setting up Trusted Numbers … these become critical when you need to regain access to your account (e.g. lost, damaged, or stolen device).

What is your problem? If you're asking how to turn off 2FA, that has been explained on every single page of this thread.
If you're having a specific problem with 2FA, please explain what it is.
What if you live in an area with poor reception (I have a cabin deep in the black hills) or travel internationally and you don't have phone service abroad (like me?).
There is no excuse to not have an option to opt out. Beyond retarded.
Yet Apple read these posts and independently contact forum participants ALL THE TIME. Hmmmmm
No, really, they don't. On some occasions, engineers and developers who tasked with researching a particular issue may search for relevant posts and reach out to people. However, this is not a technical issue. It's a policy issue.

How to use find my Iphone and login account if i did not have the device on my hand? so, it's should be release option find my iphone anymore. when you lost the phone it's meant it gone.
You should always have more than one device as a trusted device (or trusted phone number). See this article for instructions on adding additional trusted devices:
Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
Two factor authentication is useless. I am getting ready to go android. Apple does nothing to fix what they have broken. My phone no longer works like it should. After every update it gets worse. Apple just takes money and does nothing for the faithful customer. I am done with Apple. Samsung is my new pal. GOOD BYE APPLE IT HAS NOT BEEN FUN. THANK YOU FOR NOTHING.
Terrible. Where is the user design on this? Techies who make the decision to set the priority - security (which is important) vs customer satisfaction. Rethink, innovate and work the problem people!
and....this is where the problem lies. "The problem is with the user, not the service or system. "
Not all users have this level of understanding and tech companies have got to address the issue that they know best. Interdisciplinary teams need to work together to solve the issues this raises.
I travel internationally for work and because of 2FA I now have to bring my computer in addition to the iPad. Please please please please give us a way to turn of 2FA. It is very important to many of us. To me personally carrying a second device is actually more of a security liability than not having 2FA. Thanks
Users are going to have to learn. Because 2FA is coming to virtually every secure environment on the Internet. This is a good time to learn with an easy-to-use one like Apple's. Already all of my banks require it, Google requires it for business accounts, my brokerage firms require it, the Us Internal Revenue Service requires it, most medical insurance companies require it, the US Social Security Administration requires it, Medicare and Medicaid in the US require it. Even my cellular carrier "strongly encourages" it, because phone number theft is rampant. Almost all businesses require it for their employees, and most of them are much tougher than Apple's.
And contrary to the nonsense being spouted in this thread, you only need one device. You can receive the challenge and enter it on the same phone. And if you don't have your phone it's moot, anyway.
2 FA isn't just to protect you, even if you are happy being hacked and losing all of your personal information. That information includes a lot of private data on your contacts, also, so not having 2 FA puts them at risk. And iCloud accounts are prime targets for hackers. Just ask Jennifer Lawrence.

No you don't. Just log out of iCloud on your iPad and you will never be challenged. But you don't need a 2nd device anyway; if your iPad is a trusted device in the rare instance (and I mean RARE - I haven't been challenged by 2 FA in over a month on my iPad, iPhone, Macbook Air or Macbook Pro) that you are challenged you can both receive and respond to the challenge on your iPad. ONE device.
You are just making stuff up because you don't want to face reality.
There are already solutions. The problem is people demand security while simultaneously demanding convenience. Those two things have always, and always will be, mutually exclusive.
If you want security, you must sacrifice convenience. If you want convenience, then give up on security. There is no middle ground. There literally is no such thing as convenient security.
Learn to protect your online IDs and data, or suffer the consequences.

Both of your posts are nonsensical. 2FA is a security feature that is going to be a requirement for all Apple accounts at some point. So, best to learn how to use it now, get it set up, and ensure that you have protected yourself from locking yourself out because you don't understand the conceptual basis of 2FA. It's really not that complicated.
If you have a specific question, please ask it. We are not going to attempt to read your mind.

i agree, how annoying that i don't have the option to turn this off. it is an incredible inconvenient and irritating popup. every time i want o do something simple. Its my frigging computer. if i choose to turn it off, i should have the friggin option. apple ******* me off!
It has absolutely nothing to do with your computer. It has to do with your Apple account, and Apple can implement any security measures that they feel are needed to protect the security of accounts that they are responsible for. It has nothing to do with you or your rights.

I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree with you and them whole heartedly. I think it should be up to an individual whether they want that type of control. I don't and won't be getting anything 'apple' from here on out.
