If you're already using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can't turn it off. If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment. If you do, your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security.

Turning Off 2FA:

You have 14 days to do so. After that, disabling it is not an option. Just know that once to turn it off, your account will be much less secure, and vulnerable to account accessibly.
