How can I make my a laptop a "trusted device" so it stops requiring two factor authentication every time I log in to iCloud?

I can't use Find My iPhone on my new laptop because it's not a trusted device.

Any time I log in to the new laptop (Windows 10 / Google Chrome) I am required to enter an authentication code from my cell phone (which I can't find).

Surely I'm just not seeing a check box somewhere to "Trust this device" or a setting to turn off two-factor authentication?


Thanks for any help!

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
