iPhone froze upon authentication in setup

My new iphone is stuck on the two-factor authentication page. Something popped up on my old phone but then went away before I could read the numbers. Nothing is happening when I click on "Didn't get a code". What should I do?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

iphone 4s - two factor authentication doesn't work Hey, I have an old IPhone 4S that i'm attempting to revive and when I try to enter my Apple ID password which is correct I'm unable to complete the process. 1) I entered the Apple ID password on my iphone 4s 2) I get the dialog on another trusted apple device that a login attempt was made. 3) I authorize the login attempt on my trusted device and it tells me to enter the 2 factor authentication 6 digit passcode. 4) I get an Invalid user/password error on the iphone with no possibility to enter the 6 digit passcode Is there anyway out of this ? If I can't resolve that I'll be forced to throw this phone 4s to the garbage.

Make sure the other phone is open and unlocked and ready to approve. Then on the new phone step back and try again
