Hi, I am trying to sign in to iphone 4 with apple id that was created on ipad mini 2. The problem is that the iphone does not give me the option to enter the code from the ipad 2.
How can I solve this?
Thank you

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."
