You cannot turn off Two Factor Authentication. Once you gain access to your account using Account Recovery, then you will be able to change the Trusted Phone number on your account.


If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
