My spouse lost SIM card and can’t login to public app or website as it’s sending 2 factor authentication code to the phone number so how she can order new SIM card and activate new SIM card with the same phone number she has now ?

You don't have to order some card via My Accoun. T There are different ways
Get a Public Mobile sim card from
Once you got the sim card, you can update the sim card number from either the PM app or My Account via the browser (After login, remember to resume service first if you have used Lost/Stolen to suspend the service earlier.):
If you are updating via Public Mobile app
login and go to Account page
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to receive the 2FA code: On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or Resend code and then choose Send email)
click Change your Sim card and update your sim card number there
To update it from My Account via the browser:
login My Account to request Change Sim card
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to receive the 2FA code: On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or Resend code and then choose Send email)
Go to Profile page, click on the Pencil besides the sim card number, follow the steps to enter the new sim card number and complete the change sim card request
(or direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/change-sim-number )
After the sim card is updated, wait 5 mins, then reboot your phone and it should be good

Not sure if you lost the phone, if so, use the FindMy service to locate the phone and try a remote wipe
