Hi
The log entries as you say are contradictory, but that is also the nature of what we receive from icloud. eg. it is trying to make sense of why the login failed. Sometimes it is very unclear - the trusted session should last months but fails sometimes, and if your account is locked the messaging will be extra confused as well.
There are a number of users, myself included, that would send me - a few - emails if plugin is leading to account locking. I haven’t seen it, or been reported. I would raise that something else is locking your account leading to the confused log entries?
If login 2FA needs update - and this will happen monthly or so - depending on apple. Trusted session etc. doesn’t appear to make much difference. There is a plugin trigger for 2FA needing to be updated to make sure can update early. But even when this isn’t updated it shouldn’t lead to account locking.
I’ll have a further look:

It's necessary to press the "Submit Code" button after successful login,
even if you don't have to use a code.All working now.
Hey Glenn,
Getting this strange combo of messages where it logs in correctly but then says it's not finished and needs 2FA right after it said it doesn't need 2FA:
- Code: Select all
FindFriendsMini Attempting Login to Apple Account:mdawson@mac.com
FindFriendsMini Account username and password has been verifed by Apple
FindFriendsMini Two Factor Authenication (2FA) is NOT enabled on this account
FindFriendsMini OR this Computer/Device is a Trusted Session. Hence Code not needed
FindFriendsMini This is the ideal setup for iFindFriends
FindFriendsMini Nothing further is required and the account should be functioning
FindFriendsMini Please select options and press Save.

FindFriendsMini Plugin Config is not complete.
FindFriendsMini Please go to Plugin Config Page and re-Login
FindFriendsMini & enter 2FA as required

Tracked down your earlier post quoted above - I think this is the issue - using trusted session without a code is unsupported/probably is the problem. At a guess trusted session timeouts at some point in time and doesn’t notify leading to account locking. Which is why others aren’t seeing it.
Would suggest move to 2FA and use a 2FA code — this seems the best the most supported and least trouble pathway.
