Trying to use my old ipad with ios 8. I cant log into apple because theres no where to type in the two factor code. I cant type it after the password because thats only 4 numbers long.
iPad (6th gen) WiFi
Hello Jtccc,
We understand wanting to utilize previous iPads.
By 'four number long,' that would mean the passcode which would be different from the two-factor authentication code.
As for two-factor authentication:
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.

You would need to update your iPad to at least iOS 9 or later if it is able to in order to utilize and receive a code.
Thanks and have a great day.
