yosemite apple id help Hey everyone, I have to update my macOS from yosemite (10.10.5) to something newer (thinking mojave). However, in order to download mojave I have to log in to app store. But I cannot log in to the appstore because the box to enter the 6 digit code for two factor authentication doesn't appear on yosemite! I am stuck in a vicious loop. I can't turn off two step authentication either (there is no option to). Writing the 6 digit code in the same box as my password didn't work, too. Any help would be much much appreciated as this is important for my school work and I'm kinda running low on time. Many thanks in advance. Cheers

OS X Yosemite Two factor Authentication issue Hey everyone, can anyone please help as I'm stuck in this horrific loop between software on mac. So I was using BigSur on my mac and decided to update my laptop. During update it failed and the laptop went in to Internet recovery mode and ended up downloading OS X Yosemite. Now the issue is that when I'm trying to sign-in on App Store on mac, it says password is wrong (though I'm using the right password) and it won't let me sign-in because my apple ID is setup for two-Factor authentication, and Yosemite do not have Two-factor authentication. I tried all possible ways to try turn off the authentication through iPhone, web browser, iPad etc but it still won't let me turn it off. Since I can not sign-in to App Store, I can not download the new software to update my mac. Can anyone show me a way to solve this issue?

I reset my computer, now I have the Mac Os Yosemite Version 10.10.5 Now I can't update my system, due to two-factor authentication for Apple ID. The Yosemite version does not give me the small screen to put the code received on my phone.
