It has been a fairly long while since I've needed to sync an iCloud account to a new computer. I'm mainly going off of https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974 so it definitely could be oversimplifying the requirements.
Though even ignoring SMS and recovery codes, I'm not sure that using a second Apple device as 2FA would change anything; we generally don't consider one-time codes to be unphishable.
But again, that's only me looking at the docs. Is there something I'm missing about the process that would block a phisher from using an iCloud password plus an SMS hijacking attack or phished one-time code to log in and set one of their devices as trusted?
