You don't. You get the screen fixed, you backup on a regular basis and not in a time of crisis.

How do I backup my iPhone when the front screen is damaged and it's asking me to enter my passcode and trust computer? its the same computer I plug it into all the time with the same Apple ID as my iPhone The front screen is solid white and im unable to do anything with my iPhone. When I try and back it up on my Mac it asks for a passcode which im unable to enter. im not sure why it even needs a passcode when this Mac has the same Apple ID as my iPhone and its the same Mac I use every time I back this same phone up to.
