Nope. Your Apple ID is used to access Find My. See the fourth bullet under “Manage your Apple ID” here.

It sounds like you may have two different Apple IDs - one you’re calling “Apple ID” and a different one you’re calling “[i]Cloud ID”. This would appear to be two different people in the Apple ecosystem.

You have two Apple IDs.


One uses Gmail for hosting, and the other uses iCloud for hosting.


The two Apple IDs are not related.


You have forgotten the password to one of the two Apple IDs, as well as having lost an associated iPhone.


For recovering access to your forgotten Apple ID:

If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

Apple’s I Forgot Service

How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support


Once (if) you have recovered the password, you can use https://www.icloud.com/find to use Find My, as that does not require two-factor.


Given you have no password and no device, recovery might not be possible. Maybe you have the password saved in the other Apple ID. Or some saved password in that other Apple ID can remind you of the forgotten password. Settings > Passwords has those details, if you have been using Apple Keychain.
