is it possible to turn off two factor on an apple id?

My elderly dad keeps getting locked out because the codes go to an old iPad he never uses. I'd like to switch two factor off for his account, or at least move the codes to his phone. Options?
turn off two

For most accounts, no. If your Apple ID was created with two-factor on, or you've had it on for more than two weeks, Apple doesn't allow turning it off. There's only a two-week window after enabling it where the confirmation email lets you go back.
