Log-in to iCloud using https://icloud.com/find


Appending the “/find” allows you to find your phone — and “Mark as Lost” — w/o needing a 2FA verification code.

Going-forward, you should add additional Trusted Numbers to your AppleID to avoid getting locked-out of your account.


This is especially important if you only have a single Apple device.
