I’m not going to answer the question as-asked because its core premise is flawed.

Instead of looking to disable 2FA, look to speed-up providing 2FA codes.

Most passwords managers support auto-filling 2FA codes. Yes, some are still super-old school and only support SMS and email. But Safari on macOS (for example) can pre-fill the texted/emailed codes (as long as Mail.app is open, and/or your phone is paired with your computer).

Even better/faster? Passkeys. GitHub supports them, and they’re the fastest (and most secure?) login solution.

There are all sorts of solutions for this problem outside of making security worse.
