That 2fa is proper garbage when your phone breaks. My wife’s phone broke, and I couldn’t get her authorized on the new phone bc 2fa. I logged into a desktop that she was logged in on, got the code and everything, but that apparently wasn’t good enough. Needed to be able to respond to a text on the phone that didn’t work, or wait 48 hours before customer service could do anything.
Same thing with find my device. Usually, when you want to find your device, you’re not going to have your device on you. If you lose your phone in a public place now, you’re fucked until you can get back to another device you’re logged in on. Wife also lost her phone on a trip. Here, use mine to log into your account and track it. Nope, need 2fa to get into find my. Like, I’m low-key tempted to just turn it off and be less secure after having 2 shit experiences as a result of it. I won’t because security and all, but damn.
Google used to have an app called Trusted Contact where you could designate someone as a “trusted contact” and they could request your location. You’d get a notification for the request and if you don’t respond in 5 minutes, the location is automatically shared. This way you weren’t always sharing your location with someone and would know if they are trying to see your location. This helped me a few times finding my phone from my SO phone, without needing to log into account with 2FA
