Login - Old iPad

I recently purchased an iPad, I don't know which one, but it does have the version 5.1.1 It says the model is MB293LL. I have tried to login multiple times on Icloud, Mail, and App Store. It says I need a two-factor authentication. The problem is the key generator does not pop up. I tried to get a recovery key but I never got one? I tried to generate a new one, but sadly the only way I can log in to my apple ID is through the computer on the browser.

Sadly, if you have purchased an iPad with iOS 5.1.1 installed, then you have purchased a long-ago obsolete first generation iPad - this being confirmed by the quote model number.


The iPad1 cannot be updated to a more recent version of iOS. The iPad1 is a 32-bit architecture device; all compatible Apps for 32-bit devices have been de-listed from the Apple App Store - and as such, there are no Apps available for your iPad.


With sincere regret, I can only suggest that you abandon any hope of being able to successfully activate and use the iPad1.
