From the article below. 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.

Dear Eric,
thank you for your kind replies. Unfortunately it still asks for two-factor. Although it tells you that once you validate the browser, it will no longer ask you for two-factor, but it still does... ☹️
You are welcome. If you sign into iCloud.com using the same computer browser, then sign out, and log into iCloud.com/Find, does that work without 2 Factor Authentication?
Then, what happens if I’ll lose my iPhone and I’ll try to locate it by using find my iPhone? Will it ask to authenticate by two-factor?
In that situation, try iCloud.com/Find using a computer browser.
Yesss, it works! Thanks a lot.
You are welcome.
