If you are using an older device without explicit support for 2-factor authentication, you enter the password and the code with no spaces in the password field.


So you would type "example123456" into the password field.

You will need to request a code in Settings on a trusted device before you enter the password since otherwise the code is not sent until after you enter the passcode and by the time you get back to entering the password, the code will have expired.
