When I try to login to iCloud on my iPhone SE I am told that I need a verification code. I receive this on my IMac. There is nowhere on the iPhone to enter the code. If I add try to login again and add the code to my password I am told that the password is wrong. If I do not add the code I go round the loop again. What am I supposed to do?
iPhone SE, iOS 13

If you are using two-factor authentication on an older device…
You should be able to append the code to your password and enter that (i.e. if your password is ABC and your code is 123, enter ABC123), however if this doesn't work it may be that you are running out of time (30s) using your authentication code and you may want to delay getting your code until the last minute or temporarily disable the 2 step verification/2 factor authentication, although it shouldn’t be necessary.
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
