Two Factor Authentication

I lost my phone today and I wanted to use find my iphone on my computer, but it needed to authenticate my computer via my phone to use it. Obviously that wasn't very helpful. I have an older imac so that may be part of the issue, but in case it happens again any suggestions for how to avoid that? Thanks!

You don't. Go to iCloud.com/find. Log into your Apple ID.
