Find My Device

How can I locate my missing Apple Device if two-factor authentication is turned on and I only own one Apple Device? I need the code from my Apple Device to sign into my account to find my missing device.

iPad, iPadOS 13

You can use any computer internet browser and sign into icloud.com/find without being asked for a two-factor code. Note the "/find" in the site that you sign into.


You can also use any computer internet browser and sign into icloud.com and ignore the two-factor code request and click the "Quick Access to Find My" on the sign in screen.


Although not needed for the above I would strongly recommend that you set up one or preferably more trusted phone numbers. They can be Android phones, landlines, friend's or relative's phones. See the following for more information on trusted phone numbers: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
