Turn off Two-Factor Authentication

Somehow 2Fa got activated on my account though I never wanted it. Could someone please tell me how to turn it off again? I've been using my apple devices for years without this problem. Looking in my Apple ID section on my iPad, I don't see the off button. Please help! I use a landline phone and cannot always run home every time I need to log in. Thanks!

What is a trusted device?

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It's a device that we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser.
