constructed two-step verification, which it
created after high-publicity cracks using
social engineering (i.e., guessing and
phishing) of its iCloud service.
Apple’s implementation of 2FA is
integrated into iOS and macOS, and I
recommend that everyone enable it.
However, some people may find it’s too
much fuss or they have other difficulties
making it work. (For Apple IDs that you
don’t use with a physical device, but only
for purchases, 2FA can be an honest pain,
but it’s manageable.)
Until recently, you could opt to disable
2FA, although you had to go to the Apple
ID website to turn it off. Apple quietly
removed disabling 2FA as an option, and
I’ve started to hear from people about this
recently when they went to turn it off and
found they could not.
It looks like Apple quietly removed that
option in a later release of iOS 10 and
macOS 10.12 Sierra, according to reports
online. Apple’s support page for 2FA notes
that within the first two weeks of enabling
2FA (go.macworld.com/twof), you can still
revert. But after that, no can do:
Certain features in the latest versions of
iOS and macOS require this extra level
of security, which is designed to protect
your information.
I respect this move forward for
security’s sake, but I also think Apple
shouldn’t have taken it out without a lot of
disclosure, explanation, and potential
grandfathering of those who had opted
in. It doesn’t enumerate what features
require this.
And Apple only provides the second
factor via its iOS and macOS, and as a
fallback via text message and automated
voice message. It isn’t integrated with
standard code-based second factors
(called a time-based one-time password or
TOTP) or any third-party system.
It seems like Apple should have made
sure its second-factor system is as easy to
use and widely accessible as possible
before it made it irreversible. But the new
limitation is in place, and if you haven’t
enabled 2FA yet, you should make double
sure it meets your needs before moving
forward.

The Apple ID site no longer lets you disable 2FA.
