Hi vineyy,


From the support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID:


"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."


The option to disable that feature exists only for 2 weeks after turning it on. Beyond that, there is no way to turn two-factor authentication off.


Regards.
