Sorry for the n00b question, but I want to do an erase and restore from iCloudof my iPhone XS Max. Do I need to turn of 2FA on sites like FB, Amazon, Google, etc. before I do this? I think that the Microsoft Authenticator I use for some sites backs up to iCloud, but I'm not sure if it's just safer to disable 2FA before doing it.
 
Yes, you will need to turn it off even go each website to disable 2FA unless you have all backup codes for each website. I suggest switching to Authy as authenticator app since it supports many devices rather than sticking with one device.
