Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Where do I "type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices"

I'm sure it's been asked and answered 10,000 times already, but can't find a **** thing in these discussions.


On an iPhone 4s, trying to sign into icloud (in icloud settings), I get the message "Apple ID Verification Code Required: type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices."

I get the verification number on an iPad.

Where on earth do I type this code!!!

Pressing "Ok" just puts me back to the sign in page and if I try to sign in it just repeats the process with a new code.


Thanks.

N.

What iOS version is on the 4s?


If it's pre 9, you have to enter the verification code along with your regular password, which matches the wording of the message.


For example... Mypassw0rdverificationcode
