2 Factor Authentication screwed up my iCloud login...

I recently enabled 2 factor authentication on my iPhone. However, I was not able to verify my Mac. I logged out of my iCloud so I could log back in again, thinking this may have been the issue. I also changed my password, just in case. When I go to the System Preferences menu to login to my iCloud, it asks for my Apple ID and password, which I enter. From what I understand, after I hit the "Next" button, it's supposed to take me to a screen where I can enter my verification code that I receive on my phone. However, no such field pops up. Instead it loops backwards, and asks me for my password again as if I had never entered it to begin with. I don't get any error messages, or incorrect password messages, or device disabled messages. I have been able to successfully login to iCloud.com, so I'm pretty sure it has to be something with the Mac. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
