Hi Sieghard
You are right, it is the third edit button on the Dutch site of Apple. I
fixed it.

Subject: RE: Setting up new Apple email?
Hi,
I just logged in and did not find it difficult to locate the button to turn
off two-factor authentication. I assume what you may have missed is the fact
that after you log in at http://appleid.apple.com you can't change anything
until you activate the "Edit" button for the area you want to change, e.g.
for the personal information area, the security area etc.
If you start at the top of the page and use the quick nav key for buttons it
would be the second edit button as the first applies to changes to your
personal information.
Once I activated this edit button I had the option to change my password and
the last date when I changed it was displayed, it was able to add another
trusted phone number and, as I said, in the two-factor security section a
button to "turn off two-factor authentication" was available. I didn't do
this, but I understand that if you do this you have to select 3 new security
questions and provide answers and maybe there is another step, but changing
the password as far as I can tell is not required. Here is an Apple support
article about two-factor authentication:
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204915
In the frequently asked questions area one of the questions is "Can I turn
off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?"
The answer given is "You can't turn off two-factor authentication for some
accounts created in iOS 10.3 or macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and later. If you
created your Apple ID in an earlier version of iOS or macOS, you can turn
off two-factor authentication.
In other words, if you create a new Apple Id using iOS 10.3 and later or
macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and later, it appears people are stuck with two-factor
authentication, but if you had your Apple Id for some time as most of us
have you should be OK. I also assume that since this is not mentioned that
if you create an Apple Id using a PC you should be OK and able to turn off
two-factor authentication.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard
I believe there must be another step to fulfill: changing password. I did
like you said and noticed 2stepverifications is on for my account but there
is no way to turn it off once logged in.
I think you have to change the password of the account to do so.

Why is .iCloud more proprietory than .me? I guess she can always set up a
gmail or outlook account, but then again they are all proprietory just as
are those from various providers as they all have the provider's domain. I
guess you could go and register your own domain, but that is a lot of work
and some cost to go through for an email address.

Sieghard

I did, she didn't, now won't as she don't want such a proprietory domain.
Thanks everso, BobH.

Hi Bob,
If you created an account with one of Apple's earlier services, that address
will still work, which is why me.com <http://me.com/>
addresses work. I'm pretty sure that if you're creating an account now,
though, it will be iCloud. I don't think there are any other
options.
Best,
Anna

MrsH is trying to set up a new Apple email account. I know they changed
the option of what .com one can have. I still have a
me.com. But she can't find an option beyond icloud.com. I thought there
was more, and still included the legacy me.com too.
Help on where and how to select would really be appreciated just now.
Thanks, BobH.
