Disable two-factor authentication
Remove the additional login protection only after password confirmation and an explicit choice.

Step by step
- 1First check that your account password is strong and unique and that the active email address remains accessible.
- 2Open Security, choose Disable and confirm your password when required.

- 4Choose Disable two-factor authentication.
- 5Choose Back to security and check that the status is Not active.
What is on the screen?

What happens next?
