Ok, the issue is your MacBook's operating system is too old to work directly with 2FA. It would need to be upgraded to, at least, OS X El Capitan.
If you try to sign in to your iCloud account using an older device that isn’t running at least iOS 9 or 10.11 El Capitan, or an older Apple TV model, you must get a verification code from a trusted device (or via SMS or phone call), and then, append that to your password when you enter it.

Are you getting a 4-digit or 6-digit code on your iPhone to enter into this MacBook Pro? Which exact model is this notebook and which version of OS X or macOS is it running? ... and which version of iOS is your phone running?
Which security type is your Apple ID enabled for: 1) Two-Step Verification (2SV), or 2) Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

Hi,
I'm receiving a 6 digit code on my iPhone. I have a MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012. I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook. On my iPhone I am running iOS 13.3.1. I have 2FA on.
