I don't like being told I need 2 factor authentication interrupting my logon. Stop it!

Two things are happening.
One, there are random two-factor checks that may or may stop after a few days or weeks.
Second, each time one logs in from a different IP address, say a computer in a different physical location, AOL makes you sign in with two-factor authentication for days, weeks or months.
It is VERY troublesome.
First, one becomes dependent on a cell phone to log into email.
Second, it is a big time waster.
And yes, if one signs on six times a day one has to two-factor six times a day.
And no matter what AOL says, it does NOT appear to be optional.
