two-factor authentication do not work on iPad mini

My old iPad mini (iOS 9.3.6) is with a friend in Thailand.( I am in Sweden)

When she is trying to log in with my password on my mac account, i get a question, on a trusted device, if I accept. When I answer yes I get a 6 digit code. I send this code and she enters the code on the iPad.

The iPad rejects the code, do not accept it. We tried 3 times, but the same result.

What to do?

iPad mini, iOS 9

Hey there Norbo,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand two-factor authentication is not working as expected. We’ll be happy to help with this.


With that version of iOS, she may need to enter your Apple ID password immediately followed by the two-factor code. For example, if your Apple ID password is “password” and the verification code is “123456” she would enter “password123456”.  You can read more about this here:

We hope this helps. Take care.
