How do I turn off two-step verification? The posted instructions don't work and it's just another layer of inconvenience, not security.

I know how important it is for you to unenroll from Two-step verification. Bruce's steps are the correct ones to take. The link below will assist you as well.

Those instructions don't work for me. I get two boxes, one says Status:On with no buttons or live text to click. The other one says "Current Selections:" and the only choice is "Reset" and it shows my phone number as being the SMS number configured for two-step verification. There is no button to turn it off as shown in the link above. This is causing me trouble because my phone app does not handle two-step verification so after a few attempts by my phone to sync, my account gets locked out! This needs to be fixed. I chatted with someone about it last night, then I called after the person I chatted with only reset my two-step instead of turning it off. The person I talked to told me she was going to escalate this issue for me but so far today, I have not seen or heard anything about it. I would attach an image of the screen but your insert menu doesn't allow for that apparently. When I try to insert an image, there is no link to the file system allowing me to select the file. I wonder if this function was programmed by the same person who did your two-step verification...
Do you log into Cox with your Primary account or a secondary? What happens if you Reset?
I log in with my primary account when I need to do admin stuff but my phone would log in several times a day to sync my email on that account. That's what gets my account locked. I stopped syncing my primary mail account on my phone app to stop it from locking out my account.
When I click reset, all it does is make me choose between using a voice line for the code or get an SMS code.It's a stab in the dark, but I've read some recent scripting problems with Microsoft Edge. Are you using it? Perhaps another browser.
I have the exact same problem trying to opt-out of the 2-step email verification. There is no disable/undo/delete/un-enroll/stop button on the dis-enroll page, like the example shows. I mistakenly enrolled into this process but am sorry that I did so.
