Please sign into your Apple account in the App Store to download Catalina.
"Error: You must approve sign in with code sent to your phone and then type in new password from alert into the password field" (close to something like that).
I get a ding on my phone, see the six digit code, nowhere to type that code in other than the password field in the App Store which doesn't work and gives me the same error.
I login to my Apple ID account and two factor authentication can't be disabled.

apple3948,
Thank you for the information. What you will want to do is when you get the code, you will enter it in the password field. You enter the password, followed immediately after the password. As in "password1234", where "password" is your password and "1234" is the code.
Cheers.
