[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1912827, member: 396914"] You cannot turn off 2FA after enabling it. You can always create a new AppleID, but Apple insists on 2FA for all new accounts, so that won't get you past the issue. Maybe if you describe what is happening we can tell you how to get 2FA working. You say you don't travel with all your devices, but what devices are you talking about? Are all of them listed as trusted devices for 2FA? For example, I have an iPhone, an iPad and a MBP and when the 2FA codes arrive, they arrive on all three because all three are "trusted" to receive them. The only time 2FA stumps me is when I'm working on my wife's account and the 2FA goes to HER iPhone, not mine. [/QUOTE]
