Can't Remove 2FA

I realized that I made a mistake when I turned ON your 2FA and decided to switch it to OFF.  I can't.  It continually asks me for my password and then sends me a one-time code via Text which I have to enter on the website.  Wash, rinse, repeat, mainly repeat.  After the 5th time I just disconnected with the intention of trying again later when your website might be working properly again.  I just tried again and got into the same password followed by the one-time code pattern again.  I then noticed a check box that said that if I checked it it would not do it again with the particular browser I was using.  So I checked it.  Now, I get repeatedly asked for my password over and over and over.  And yes, the password is correct, it is loaded by a password manager and I've double checked it several times.  It's the same password I used when I stupidly switched 2FA On.

How do I get out of this 2FA repeat [Edited: "Language"]?

Sorry, I forgot to post how I fixed the problem with 2FA not wanting to be turned off.  I wound up doing the same thing I initially did to fix my problem with watching any Live shows on https://www.xfinity.com/stream/.  I had to put my browser into Incognito mode and I was able to get beyond the repeating password/2FA requests to turn off the 2FA.  As with the Xfinity Stream problem I'm sure adding "Xfinity.com" to my ad blocker's whitelist would have worked as well.
