Note that nobody can login to your iCloud account without knowing your AppleID and password. And if you use two factor authentication with your AppleID, they’d have to have access to one of your trusted devices as well.


Also, if someone tries to sign into your account from a device not linked to your account, you will get a notification that an unknown device tried to login. You will also see a similar notification whenever you get and successfully add a new device to your Appleid (all your other devices get a notification that your AppleID was used on a new device).

Hello Diana,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like to know if you will receive a notification if someone signs into Find My iPhone on another device. If you have two-factor authentication you will be notified if someone signed into an Apple service with your Apple ID and password. The following article will provide you with additional information on how two-factor authentication works:

Best Regards.
