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

Hi!


I'm trying to set up my apple ID on my macbook - I open System Preferences - mail, contacts, calendars, click - iCloud - prompted to enter the password for my apple ID.


Then, I receive a pop up message that states: "An Apple ID verification code is required. Type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices."


The verification code DOES come thru on my iPad. BUT! I do not have anywhere to input the code on the macbook!


Please help me~ Thank you for any help you can offer.

MacBook, iOS 10
