I need to turn off the two-factor verification on my Apple ID. Every time I try to sign in to download an update, it asks for the verification code displayed on my trusted devices. But my MacBook Pro is the only Apple device I own, so there's nowhere to see the verification code. How do I shut off two-step??
If two-factor authentication has been enabled for more than two weeks, or if your Apple ID is new and enabled two-factor by default, you cannot.
If you only recently enabled two-factor, look in the message received when two-factor was enabled.
Two factor authentication codes can be sent to a trusted telephone number, either as an SMS or as a call.

I did just set it up earlier today, so I was able to disable it through the email, as you suggested. My phone is a Samsung, so it wasn't displaying a verification code as the original prompt asked me to provide. I'll just have to make sure I refrain from setting up two-step in the future. Thanks for your help!
Your Samsung can receive two-factor authentication codes.
Two-factor authentication gives you one more chance against phishing or scams, before losing control of your Apple ID.
