Password verification code not showing up for iCloud

Heya,


I have the same problem as Jason from May this year.

Verification Code Window not showing up for iMessage


I'm on a work computer (iMac mid-2010) running Mavericks 10.9.5, and I unfortunately don't have a say in updating the OS.


When setting up my iCloud on the computer:

- I click on "Enter password..."

- I enter my password to get my verification code

- Verification code is sent to my iPhone

- Box appears in System Prefs that says "Type in your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices" and an 'OK' button.

- I press 'OK', expecting a typing field to then pop up.


It doesn't.

There's nowhere to type in my password followed by the verification code. System prefs simply continues to say "Type in your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices".


I've tried going back out of System Prefs, then back in and instead of just typing my password, I try the password + verification code - but this doesn't work either. I've also tried restarting.


Does anyone have any ideas? I followed the above link's "solution" but this doesn't work for me. Please, help!


Thanks!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

same here... trying this thread too since it's more-recently active... if you type pw+code in the initial box, it fails the password. so you type the proper password and it triggers a code sent to my ios device, then tells you to enter the pw+code without providing a place in which to enter that code! supremely frustrating to say the least!

I had this same problem and this worked!


After you close the notification window that you need to verify, it will go back to where you have your UN and Password entered, enter the verification after your password in the password field. Password123456. Enter. That should do it! Let me know and good luck! 🙂🙂
