Mary, No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a trusted phone number. I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive verification codes on. However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.
I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a code on to verify my identity. However, no worries. Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.
