Read this support article to find out how to use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item. Click here --> Find your lost Apple device or AirTag with Find My - Apple Support
- A person can use the Find My app on a device owned by someone in their Family Sharing group.
- Alternatively, anybody can sign into https://www.icloud.com/find to locate their device using a browser. You don't need a two-factor code if you use any internet browser and log into www.icloud.com/find
Note that the address must include the "/find" as shown above.
In any case, you should always have more than one way to get a verification code. Do not have your only device also be your only trusted device or only way to get a phone call with a code.
This is based on the section "About trusted phone numbers and trusted devices" in the article: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
To see, add, or change your trusted phone numbers use one of these methods:
● On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > your name > Password & Security. Next to Trusted Phone Number, tap Edit.
● On a Mac computer choose Apple menu > System Settings (or System Preferences), then click your name (or Apple ID). Click Password & Security, then add or remove a trusted phone number.
● Using a web browser:
1) Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in.
2) Follow security options until you find one letting you change trusted numbers,
3) Click "+" to add a new number (you may be required to verify this number).
4) If you wish to remove an old number, click "-" next to the number.
