Because I can do that by saying "Hey Google, where's my phone" or logging onto Android Device Manager and asking it to ring my phone.

Likewise for iOS.

Unless you have two factor auth enabled.

To everyone downvoting: just open an incognito window and try to use Google Find My Phone. You will be asked to grant 2FA through the notification on your phone or Google Authenticator in order to log in.

Are you sure? This doesn't match my experience. I've had 2fa enabled on my G account for years, and it still worked.

I have two-factor auth and I use a U2F key with my phone as backup security key. It still works.

I have 2fa on my Android and this feature works fine on Google home.
