https://www.iCloud.com/find does not require a 2FA code (the “/find” is the important distinction when logging into Find My by itself and not all of iCloud).


And you should always have a backup telephone number registered to your AppleID for such situations when you only have a single Apple trusted device. A code can always be sent to your backup number by SMS or automated voice message when a trusted device is not available.

You must contact your Carrier and have the stolen SIM card locked. Then you need your Carrier to send you a new SIM card with the same phone number. Once you have it, put it in another phone in order to receive Authentication code on SMS from Apple.
