The terminal used is Huawei Matebook X (Windows10), but the basic operation is almost the same for Mac.
Access "Google Account Management" and open "Security" and click "Find a lost device".
Click the lost smartphone.If the smartphone is turned off or the location information service is disabled, it will be difficult to find.
Click on the smartphone you want to find to see the following screen.

You may be logged in with another Google account.For example, a Google account that is logged in with a lost smartphone is "A account".The account that is logging in with a PC or smartphone that is looking for a smartphone in "Search for a smartphone" is "B account".
In this case, even if you access "Search for smartphones" with "B account", the lost smartphone will not be displayed.Switch your account to "A account" and try again.
You can switch your account by clicking on Google's profile image.
You may be able to find a smartphone that your family has lost.Ask your family about login information in the Google account, log in on your PC or your smartphone, and then use "Find a smartphone".
However, if your family has set "two -step authentication", it may be a little difficult.When you log in for the first time on a PC or smartphone to your family's Google account, you will need "authentication".This "authentication" is a smartphone ... because it is necessary to do it with a lost smartphone.
