Q: Can't login to iTunes 12.2 with Two Step Verification
When I try to login, after inputting my Apple ID and password, into iTunes 12.2 it prompts my other trusted devices for a verification code for iTunes. The problem is there is no place in iTunes to input this code so it won't finish logging in. Same thing happens on Apple TV.
The simple solutions seems to be to turn off two step authentication but when I go to the appleid.apple.com site to change it I cannot turn it off (reasons for this are odd: as a member of the beta program it sends me to the beta version of appleid.apple.com where the option can't be changed, my wife can change hers on the regular site as she isn't a beta member).
Anyone know any work arounds or how to turn off two step verification as a member of the beta program?

I found the fix after music trial and error.
You must type you user name and password in iTunes. It will then prompt you for user name and password and verification code. Type your password immediately followed by the six digit code that appears on your phone or computer. e.g. password123456
As strange as it sounds it works and will finish the login. Same goes for Apple TV. If you need a code one can be generated on the iPhone from settings-->iCloud-->scroll to bottom--> Get Verification Code
