I never turned on 2 factor authentication. When I open iCloud account like 2 was ago perhaps and it never gave me myself an option for me to decide if I wanted this 2factor authentication? When I try to take this 2 factor authentication it does not take it off

iPhone SE, iOS 15

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, you can unenroll within two weeks of enrollment. 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 higher security.
