I have an old iPad (1st generation) that is still very useful for some things. I recently changed my Apple ID password (from my Mac) and now I cannot sign in on the iPad. After correctly entering the new password it asks for a recovery key, but the box provided is too short to accept the new style 28 character recovery keys...
Help!

On an older device, if a verification code is needed, simply append the Verification Code to your AppleID Password.
For example, if your Password is PasswordABC - and the Verification Code is 123456 - you would enter PasswordABC123456

Recovery Keys are only needed when the password is forgotten, so there’s something odd happening here.
Is it possibly asking for a verification code and not a recovery key?
If resetting and reloading that old iPad doesn’t work...
...Contact Apple Support. Use the Get Support link in the upper right,
Thanks, but it is definitely asking for a recovery key.
(not a verification code).
