I may not be understanding your question well enough, but my answer, in the context of two-factor authentication, is that you can't do that. But you can check to see if a device is signed in that should not be.


Assuming you are using two-factor authentication, Check your Apple ID device list (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064) and remove any device that shouldn't be signed in using the steps in the link.

 

If there are none that shouldn’t be signed in, then you should not have a problem at this point. But, if an unauthorized device signed in, Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
