Hello Mabel2018,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're wondering how two-factor authentication will work with just an iPhone. The iPhone will be your trusted device, but you can also add any other phone number as a trusted phone number to also receive a security code. The phone number can be any type of phone, and it doesn't have to be an iOS device. You can learn more about two-factor authentication in the link below:

Cheers!
