The Microsoft 'Find and lock a lost Windows device' article says
Getting started with Find my device
You can only use the Find my device feature for Windows devices. You can't use this feature for iOS devices, Android devices, or Xbox One consoles.
You must be signed into your Windows 10 device in order to lock and locate it with Find my device.
You can't use Find my device with a work or school account.
Your Windows device must be connected to the Internet and have enough battery power so it can send its location.
So the answer is yes, you'll need to sign-in.
