"Turn off" OTP authentification is grayed out

I am the owner of my Zoom Pro account. I was able to turn on 2FA today because OTP doesn't work for me. 1st of all, the Zoom verfication emails are no longer reaching me, which is another problem. Do I have to create a 2nd discussion about this issue to figure out how to receive the emails? I receive emails from everyone else just fine. 

 

Today I was able to turn on 2FA and set it up for SMS authentification which should work for me. However, I am unable to turn OTP off because "turn off" which is beside it is grayed out. It is not clickable. How can I turn OTP off when I can't click "turn off"?

 

A side comment: I had a horrific experience with Zoom support this week while trying to resolve this issue while I was traveling.I was unable to log in to Zoom at all because of it. I never received the email that was supposedly sent to me so I could approve tech support resolving this issue for me. I had to wait until I came home so I could access my account and do it myself. If I wasn't returning home this week by today, clients would have missed two zoom meeting from me because I couldn't get into my account. I'm helping people who have long Covid in one of the meetings. Zoom support is honestly worthless in my experience.

The OTP option is also grayed out on my end. Were you able to find a fix for this?

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an account owner or admin.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Advanced then Security.
  3. In the Security section, click the One-Time Passcode Authentication toggle to disable it.
  4. If a verification dialog appears, click Disable to verify the change.
