2 step and find my iphone.

[peige]

If you enable 2 step verification for your iphone id how does that affect the find my phone app?

Say for example you've lost your phone and you log in on another ipad that doesn't belong to you what happens when you log in?

Although I can't seem to find 'replace my key' nor do I remember setting it up.

Edited to add this link which seems more useful.

Thats interesting. I wonder what happens if you try to make somebody elses ipad a trusted device. It would see from the links its possible but you can log on and see the list of devices that are authorised and edit as necessary.

I'm considering disabling two step.

I'm using my account over 4 devices and so far it seems like a pain in the bum.

You can log onto iCloud.com, and when it asks you to authorise two step, at the bottom you can select 'Find my iPhone'
