How to turn off two factor authentication?

Why don't we have the option to turn it off???? This is ridiculous, there are times I don't have my phone or maybe the phone is broken; then what do we do???? I never turned this on to begin with. You need to change this!!!!!

I don't need to change anything. Like everyone else in this thread, I'm a user. If you want Apple to know how you feel, use the feedback page:

Product Feedback - Apple

If you have 2FA properly configured with additional trusted devices and/or numbers, it won't matter if your phone is broken.

I sold all my apple products. I travel for a living, I don't get the auth code is some areas, this should be an OPT IN.

If Ford made me stop and jump rope for 3 minutes before it would allow me to start my car, I would sell my Ford too.

Straw man argument much?

The total elapsed time for retrieving and entering a 6 digit verification code is maybe 5 seconds.

As has been pointed here numerous times, ADDING an additional trusted phone number is a smart move.

There is also the ability to get a verification code OFFLINE, so your observation "I don't get the auth code is some areas" has a solution.

Facts matter.

Thanks for sharing as it does make a difference what every one says as part of humanity. You are Obviously are so frustrated you left some. People could be borderline on to leave or and you get them to push in that direction. Or maybe not. it’s about a community discussion it’s about engagement that’s being part of community. Whether you work for Apple or not.

I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. You may want to try reposting in your native language.

Best of luck.

Apple is a company that recognizes identity theft is a big issue and they don't want to be responsible for it happening to data in their custody.

I will leave Apple

Okay. Bye-bye.

you have gotten too out of control

as did the theft of user's devices, which ironically lead Apple to require 2FA.

Ironic.

Who does Apple think they are?

Will you come back and rail against any other company when they make their flavour of 2FA mandatory as it proves to be extremely effective?

What the **** Apple. I have a legitimate need to access and acquire the data off of my device. My device my decision. I don't need nor want your security. Is this a police state? Give us the right to turn off the TFA.

We also have a legitimate right to access our own data without having to log- in and get/give permissions every **** time! Corporate America-IE Google and Apple are taking over and I want no part of it.

In what way is 2FA preventing you from accessing data on your device? Perhaps if you explain exactly what the problem is, someone can help you find a way to do what you need to do.

While you might like things to work that way, you have no right to have them work that way.

If APPLE gave us the right, we should also have the right to exercise it when we so choose. Not when they so choose. Unless you phone me, it isn't received. I get thousands of emails daily and if I read each of them, I would be out of business.

So, the fact that you can't keep up with your email is .... Apple's fault?

get rid of Apple i-phone-Who also stops you from communicating more than 3 replies. You have reached your max ability to reply. WTF!

To reply to a previous question/response, I didn't agree to those when I purchased my phone! They implemented this well after the phone purchase. you are correct- I will be getting rid of my iphones and go with another brand.
