Two-factor authentication is a great security feature that helps protect your Facebook account from unauthorized access. However, there may be times when you need to disable it. This could be because you find it inconvenient or because you no longer need the extra layer of security. If you’re wondering how to disable two-factor authentication on Facebook, you’re in the right place.
To start, you’ll need to ensure that your Facebook application is up-to-date. Go to the Play Store and check if any updates are available for the app. Once you’ve updated the app, open it and click on the three-line icon in the top-right corner. Scroll down and click on “Settings & Privacy,” followed by “Settings.”
Now, scroll down until you see “Security and Login” and click on it. Scroll down again until you see “Two-Factor Authentication” and tap on it. Here, you’ll see if you already have two-factor authentication enabled.
To disable it, click on the option that you used to set up two-factor authentication. If you used your phone number, click on that option. If you used an authentication app, click on that option. Once you’ve clicked on the option, you’ll see a “Turn Off” button. Click on it to disable two-factor authentication.
Facebook will ask for your password to confirm the change. Enter your password and click on “Continue.” Then, click on “Continue” again to complete the process. Your two-factor authentication is now turned off.
You can go back and check that two-factor authentication is no longer enabled. Remember, disabling two-factor authentication will make your account less secure. If you decide to enable it again, you can follow the same steps.
That’s it! You now know how to disable two-factor authentication on Facebook.
