How do you input the Apple ID verification code on a macbook? (Mine is OS X Lion 10.7.5)

I found that this is a helpful question but found no reply from Apple. Many people ask this question so Apple please reply us. Thanks!

I keep getting incorrect password and I am putting in my Apple ID immediately followed by the verification code...been at this for an hour now

What if I have no "other device"? I have no iphone or ipad. How am I supposed to get this mandatory code?

Go to Apple - My Apple ID and update your Trusted Phone Numbers.

when i do it, it says i typed the wrong apple id password but I'm not typing my password, I'm trying to type in my vertification code

It still says incorrect password when i do what u said

I don't have any other suggestions. Are you certain that you are using the correct Apple ID password? Can you sign into iCloud.com via your browser with that same Apple ID and password?

it says forget password after I put in the verification code

Hi Thanks so much for this reply which made perfectly clear what my iPhone didn't The message that comes up on my iPhone gives no indication that this is what I was meant to do and I'm posting in Jan 2017 so this has not been fixed. I'm able to Google for answers but so many people would be totally stumped by this. Pretty pathetic of Apple to be honest.

Sorry, but I am not understanding what action you are describing in regards to a shared calendar, and I'm not sure how it relates to putting a verification code in on a Mac.

Apple is not here. This is a user to user technical support forum, so we would need to understand the exact set of steps that you are taking that results in this situation.

I am trying to sign into my iCloud. It asks for my Apple ID password, I type it in and it immediately sends me a code. A box appears that says "enter verification code" but the only option moving forward is to press OK. Once I press OK, there is no entry space for the verification code. It just simply says "enter this verification code on your Mac". But where do I put it? It's not prompting me to re-enter the password followed by the code as it has done before.

I am not asking the same question as the others. I understand what you are saying but the problem is that there is no actual slot to enter this password. Once I do it the first time (password only), it asks for the verification code. However, and this is the problematic part, it does not give you any place to enter the password. So I tried just closing and re-opening system preferences-iCloud and entering the code in following the password and it does not work. I've used the 2-step verification part so I am familiar and the step that is missing is the second prompt asking for the password then verification code. Hopefully this was more clear. Thanks for your help.

That is exactly my situation - the problem is still there "where' and "how" do you enter the verification code? I've tried shutting the MacBook down and signing in with both (password and verification code) - NG, tried do it in the preferences in the Icloud section on the MacBook where it says: "Enter your Apple ID followed password for email@xxx.com ..........." tried entering my password with or without the verification code ........... absolutely nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas???

This thread is about Macs not iOS devices. You would do better to start a new thread than to tack a question that is a variation on a theme at the end of the thread.

When you do post your question, provide all of the relevant information: iPod Touch model, iOS you are running, what you are trying to do that is asking for a verification code. Describe in detail what you are trying to do, and what happens when you try to do it.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. I have set up family sharing and shared my calendar with no problems. My partner has also shared their calendar but because I have 2 tier verification it pops up with a message on both my phone and iPad. I click OK on my phone and it provides a verification code it wants me to put in. I click OK and nothing just says ask the sender to resend. There is nowhere to put this verification code. I couldn't be more confused so any help would be great.
