If you are being asked for a Verification Code on an older Mac or iOS device, you need to type the Code right after your passcode in the same box as your passcode. So, if your passcode is ABC and your Verification Code is 123456, you would type ABC123456 in the passcode field on the sign-in screen (with no space between the passcode and the Verification Code).
You will probably have to press the < button at the top of the sign-in screen once you get the message asking for a Verification Code in order to re-display the Apple ID/Password screen.
