Hello,

Do old macOS Mojave v10.4.6 and X El Capitan v11.4.6 have "Find My" app?
If so, then where is it? I can't seem to find it. :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

A quick search suggests that it starts with Catalina (10.15).

I'm running a couple 10.13.6 and it's on that system. But they changed the
authentication of the iCloud service and you need an iPhone, iPad, or MacOS
running 10.13.6 to authenticate with 2FA token. I think before I had that, it
would use my cell # to text me a token.

10.4 is "Tiger" not Mojave. Find My won't work on that, AFAIK.
11.4.6 would be Mojave no El Capitan.

Check the versions of the OS you're running. They don't match.

Ah, darn. Redditors told me that macOS' iCloud has those finding
devices. However, logging into very old Mac OS X El Capitan v10.11.6's
iCloud shows "Preferences Error -- There was an error in iCloud
preferences." Is Apple not supporting this old? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

macOS 10.11 was released way back in 2015.

Find My was released four years later on macOS 10.15 on October 7, 2019.

Maybe stop using codenames in favor of release numbers. ; )
