No. You have to be able to access the device to sign in. See the Add section.

adding a device to Apple ID NOT from that same device It seems like it is not possible to add a device to your Apple ID device list unless you are ON that device AND that device is fully functional. True or false? If someone knows a way to add a new device from an existing device on the same Apple ID, a pointer for how to do this would be appreciated! thank you!
