If that is the security check it was requesting there are other ways of passing it that don't require the phone. Of course 2FA is a good thing, but in this case the fact that it generally uses the phone for authentication does kinda defeat the point. This makes zero sense to me, it seems you can't find someone else's lost phone at all.ĭo you have 2-factor authentication turned on for your accounts? Because I just tried it from a browser and that's what it asked me for. I tried adding her Google account to my phone but there was two problems with that, firstly I can just see all her emails at the click of a button without signing in, which just doesn't sit well with me as that's her private email and secondly, adding her account made no difference to the 'Find My Device' anyway, we STILL have to have her phone in my hand for the security check so we can't find her lost phone unless we already have it in our hands.

Luckily we found the phone anyway as it wasn't really lost at all so I figured now we have the phone in hand that we should probably setup the whole 'Find My Device' thing with the security check so next time she loses it we can find it.īut I must be missing something because every single time I open the 'Find My Device' app on my phone and try to log her in as a guest in order to find her phone it ALWAYS asks us to confirm the security check on her phone!! Which we wouldn't be able to do if her phone was lost. We obviously couldn't do that because we didn't have her phone as it was temporarily lost.

My wife thought she'd lost her phone the other day so I opened Google's 'Find My Device' app on my phone and we went to log in using her email and password but in order to log her in it required that we had her phone in our hands to complete a security check by way of tapping on the correct number on the screen.
