How can I TURN OFF 2 Factor Authentication?

Hello,
I see you want to disable two-factor authentication. For some background I suggest you read the document: "Two-factor authentication for Apple ID" - Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
Several years ago Apple transitioned to using two-factor authentication for additional account security. Accounts created since that time automatically use two-factor authentication and this cannot be disabled.
Some people have older accounts from before two-factor authentication was mandatory on new accounts. Apple encourages those users to transition to two-factor authentication when signing in on their accounts because without it "your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security." Those older account owners who do start using two-factor authentication have two weeks to change their minds and return to older security settings.
If you have an older account, recently activated two factor authentication, and you're within the two week period for turning it off again, you should check for an email from Apple for a way to do this. If you don't see one about this, look in your junk mail folder.

Hello! It is not recommended to turn off Two-Factor Authentication, but if you want to:
On your iPhone go to Settings > Your name > Password & Security and it is here.
On the web go to https://appleid.apple.com/, sign in and it is in Sign-In and Security.
You can turn it off after 2 weeks of the enabling. Have a nice day!
Unfortunately, if it has been 2 weeks or more, you cannot.
