My iPhone was stolen at OutsideLands and I want to track and turn it on remotely but am using my mom’s device. How do I log into my iCloud from her device which already has it on there - can I not access it directly form a web browser?

What if I can't access a trusted device or didn't receive a verification code?
If you're signing in and don’t have a trusted device handy that can display verification codes, you can have a code sent to your trusted phone number via text message or an automated phone call instead. Click Didn't Get a Code on the sign in screen and choose to send a code to your trusted phone number. You can also get a code directly from Settings on a trusted device. Learn how to get a verification code.
If you use iOS 11.3 or later on your iPhone, you might not need to enter a verification code. In some cases, your trusted phone number can be automatically verified in the background on your iPhone. It’s one less thing to do, and your account is still protected with two-factor authentication.
If I can't sign in, how do I regain access to my account?
If you can’t sign in, access a trusted device, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery is an automatic process designed to get you back in to your account as quickly as possible while denying access to anyone who might be pretending to be you. It might take a few days—or longer—depending on what specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.

Thank you. For anyone else reading this - get AppleCare even if you buy the phone from your cell service (which I did). They would have replaced phone since we got it 6 months ago.
Lost mode will turn phone into a brick with a message on the screen when it is turned on with how you want to be contacted.
Anyone buying a stolen phone won’t be able to use it.
Keep a copy of your IMIE and Serial number somewhere so you have those if something like this happens.
I hope the pick pocket mends his/her ways or suffers 1000x what they are inflicting on the rest of us.
Log into your Apple ID on it.
They have my phone so the code is showing up on it and not on the device I’m using to sign in.
I cannot get the two factor code to authorize my logging in!
