Hello,
Certain Apple products require that you enable two factor security. I don't
remember which ones now. So you might be out of luck with turning it off.
To enter codes though, Apple creates 6 boxes each with their own number in
them. However, if you type a number while in a box it will auto advance to the
next box and if you press the delete key it will go back a box and delete the
value in it. Generally, you only need to use two factor once on any device, and
once on any browser assuming you say the browser you are entering two factor on
is one you own.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
