Which version macOS on the computer?

What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?
"If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field."

I’ve read this and it still doesn’t answer my question.
the verification code comes tho to my mobile as expected but there is no option to input the code on the Mac Pro 🤷♀️
