What If I Lose My Phone With Two Factor Authentication

Last important point:

Apple's FindMe does NOT require 2FA to locate and temporary disable your mobile device.

You can do this from another individual's iPhone's FindMy"->Me->Help a Friend or via the web from https://www.icloud.com/find/

However, you DO need to have your AppleID and it's associated password VERY secure and solidly committed to memory.

Very good question which too few folks fully think-thru beforehand.

You can setup your 2FA "trusted" number to be ANY number you trust.

It can even be a voice number.

Re: "... Because I want to access features with Two Factor Authentication ..."

Just realized I only answered half you question.

Apple's 2FA only comes into play when you're accessing your account from an new or untrusted device.

In normal use w/ your own trusted devices "under your control" you'll rarely actually encounter the 2FA user-prompts.

Cheers.

Yes!

Apple knows that if you're looking for your iPhone ..,. you probably don't have it ... and have to obtain access from an "alternate" device. <wink>

That said, for it all to fully work as-intended, a couple of IMPORTANT settings must be done beforehand:

In Settings -> iCloud -> FindMy -> Find my iPhone ... All three of the switches should be activated and "green"

And repeated for emphasis ... your must provide your AppleID and Password.

If you've lost your phone, you're under a bit of "stress" already ...

... you can't "look on your phone" and you shouldn't depend on a scrap of paper "somewhere".

MEMORIZE them both ... well enough so that you can reliably regurgitate them under stressful conditions.

Re: "... I wish my Android let me find my device despite having 2FA! Thank you!!!!! "

Yep, those engineers at Apple are a pretty clever bunch. <wink>

You're welcome.
