Two factor impossible to switch off

Surely it should be possible to turn off two factor authentication if you are still logged in?

"nearly all accounts that offer these superior 2FA options also use text-messaging as a required backup"

I can see the thinking but there really should be a backup method as other sites have such as texting or emailing your address. I'm faced with having to move all my machines to a new address.

Hi tjfs,

Thanks for posting.

This can only be deactivated with a 2-factor code. Otherwise if the software is accidentally left open, it would be possible to remove @-FA, change the password and username all in one go therefore hijacking an account.

Because of this, the code or recovery key is required to deactivate this.
