How Do I Disable Login Verification?

To ensure account security, you are advised to enable login verification.

After you enable this function, you and IAM users created using your account need to enter verification codes generated by the bound virtual MFA device, SMS verification codes, or email verification codes on the Login Verification page during login.

If you disable this function, you and the IAM users only need to enter the account name/username and password during login.
