No place to enter verification code in iCloud

THANK YOU!

I got the iCloud "enter your password" prompt on my Mac (OS 10.10) and finally figured out that

1) you enter your (new)password and it sends a prompt to one of your other devices (iPhone). And then the same exact window reappears! Frustrating no? Leave it alone for the moment.

2) you get a warning on your phone about a log in attempt. Press "Accept"

3) Your phone then shows you a Verification code.

4) enter that code only -- with a space between the two sets of 3 numbers -- and your set.

Frustrating yes. Will Apple fix it? No.

I do wonder if LACAllen has tried his/her/?? translation of the procedure? I still cant get it to work. Its amazing how Apple sets up the security and then doesn't even really know how or IF it works? The question is not if they WILL fix it, the question is, if they CAN fix it.

And you're shouting at me because...?

I will guess there is another dialog box somewhere, waiting for the password.

If there is no password field, I would suggest you need to reinstall macOS. Your o/s is corrupt.

Thanks Kath! I just got it to work. I would type in my password then the six digit verification code correctly, just like the directions say but a "field" wouldn't come up. When one did, it didn't accept the last verification code. I opened iCloud and my email and iTunes (different things that would need my iCloud password) so the next field that came available I typed in the password & verification code, then it all worked. Thank you

I never got this to work in system preferences because the password field disappeared and never returned while the SMS Code was valid. But...when i tried to log in to the App Store, the password field stayed active and I was able to enter the code.

Yup - exactly as posted many times over and over here

All in one string >>> passwordverificationcode

Password is 1234567aB and code is 7654, you enter 1234567aB7654

I FIGURED IT OUT!

"Type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices." Is the message you see. We insert it at the end of your password! ok duh we get this after a quick google. The answer to the question you are asking is this:

Exit the icloud preferences by clicking the go back Arrow (top left corner of pref. window), it will take you to System Preferences main menu, and then click the right arrow to go back into the icloud preference.

You now should have the ENTER PASSWORD field again instead of just the stupid message with no where to type.

Now,

Visit https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign in. You will receive a verification code on your secondary device.

Go back to icloud preferences and now insert your password followed by the verification code with no space in-between the two.

SO funny how people don't understand the question we are asking. You clearly said, there is no where to type and the guy tells you to type lol.

I've been having this issue for MONTHS and finally found your suggestion and it worked! Thank you.

Tried that several times, it isn't working. We are beyond frustrated.

You have an iPod Touch 4th Gen which can only run iOS 6.1.6 maximum.

If you are using 2FA, you must be using iOS 9 or later.

I do not see an iOS level requirement for 2 Step Verification.

Same problem with MacBookPro running sys 10.12.5 in early June [last week].

As for all else, annoying that I keep getting the 'incomplete sign in' alert with no way to do so.

It worked for my iPad.

Exactly as it says...

If your password is Apple! and your verification code is 123456, type Apple!123456 in the password field.

Your password followed by the verification code.

Oh, let me try to add my own password in front of 6 digits!

There is no PLACE to type password or verification code.

There is NO password field.
