See if anything here helps. If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.

Verification code - how to get one and sign in with two-factor authentication.

If you see a password box, enter the password (ABC) followed by the code (123) or ABC123 (no spaces).

Basically there is a red 1 next to update my Apple ID settings. When I click, it asked for my Apple ID password, then asks for my iPhone passcode. Then it says that I need to authenticate but then the loading wheel just continues to turn and turn. There is no place to enter in the verification code. It also doesn’t prompt any of my others devices.

I have rebooted my iPhone and still same problem.
