[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1847753, member: 46727"] If you lose your phone or it's stolen while on a trip away from home, you have no other choice but to borrow another device and invoke "Find my iPhone" by using iCloud. However, since you would have no other trusted device to authenticate (2FA) you will have to call Apple and ask them for help. They may ask you security questions to verify your identity. I'm not sure how they would handle that. I can tell you though, that it is not a flaw. That is the way it's designed to thwart fraud and theft of your devices. [/QUOTE]
