apple id 2 step verification window not appearing

I recently had to wipe my computer and reinstall the OS ( 10.10.5) on my 2014 27" Mac Desktop. I am unable to access my icloud data because when I am asked to enter my apple id and password, there is no window to enter the code that is sent to my phone. How do I work around this? The verification window does come up on browser websites (icloud.com) but not in iTunes, messages, system preferences, etc.

iMac 27″, OS X 10.10
