How do you disable Apple ID Two-Factor Authentication

This tutorial in which you learn how to disable Apple ID Two-Factor Authentication, it is still current only for those who have this security feature activated for less than two weeks. Apple no longer allows the option to disable Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID. In addition, accounts that do not activate two factors authentication cannot access Apple services that involve a high level of security.

Initial article.

CAREFUL! Disabling the two -factors authentication option can make your Apple account available to badly intentional third parties. It can lead to the loss of personal data, paid applications and even money, if you have a bank account or use the Apple Pay!

Many users find it useful additional security measure For Apple account (iCloud / Apple ID). Authentication with two factors (Two-Factor Authentication), it's one plus security For the Apple account when we first log on with it on a device or a web browser.

This process implies generating a six -digit account, trimis pe un device (iPhone, iPad, MacBook) already authenticated. Code to be confirmed on the new device. If we do not hold an Apple device but we account for iCloud, The six -digit code will be sent on a phone number which we considered to be confident and added when I created the iCloud account.

This way, even if a badly intended person finds us the password of iCloud, cannot access the account without this code that is sent automatically after a correct authentication.

Some users do not consider this additional security method necessary. Ask for little additional time for authentication to the usual method, and what is the most stressful, some applications that we want to connect our email address iCloud, I do not recognize the authentication process. I met this problem recently, on the Email application of Windows 10, which does not allow me to authenticate Two-factor for the iCloud address.
