Apple ID Verification Code disappears too quickly

I'm trying to set up my new iPad using the 2FA sign-in. The notification pops up on my laptop, but disappears immediately without any input from me.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.12

Not receiving Verification code Hi, I'm trying to setup my New MacBook. While signing into iTunes or App Store in Mac Book, it is asking for Apple ID, Password+Verification Code. My other device which I'm using is my iPhone with the same apple ID. In this phone, If I go to Settings --> Apple ID --> Password & Security --> Get verification Code, Nothing happens. No Verification code is received. I tried logging in through a browser. Even then, when waiting for verification code, I'm only able to get verification code through SMS Text. Notification based verification code is never coming. Which is ok, if I'm logging in through browser as I have the option to choose the way I get the verification code. But to login to MacBook, how do I get a verification code as I'm not receiving it on my iPhone?

Hey Emilreloaded,

I see that you're having some trouble setting up two-factor authentication on your iPad.

Just to confirm, the verification code is being sent to the MacBook but it disappears before you have a chance to input the code on the iPad? If that's the case, you can retrieve that verification code from the settings of the MacBook. Here's how: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

Have a great day.
