From the article below updated on 8 Nov 2019. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off. 


Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?


If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your information. If you recently updated your account, however, you can unenroll for a period of two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require a higher level of security.

Apple will continue to charge you for any apps they use and it they just admitted 5hey did have a data breach but it cost WELL over $10,000 and the maximum the reimburse you is $100


I also have to go to court file a lawsuit to for identity theft fraud and embezzlement. That’s where we started 2010.


It’d all ver the news everyone is being hacked and they can really fk your **** up.
