No place to enter verification code in iCloud

I have to same problem. As simple as "there's no field to enter the verification code" really means, thanks for showing the picture for others. Did anyone finally help you with this?

I have as of 2018 about a 4 year old apple tv. Signed in to my apple tv with apple userid and pw no problem. Then it says something about verification. Then it prompts me with my apple userid after talking about verification. Tried what the guy above said (concat verfication code and pw) and apple tv gave "incorrect password". I work with this stuff a lot and whenever there is a verification loop there is a special screen to accept the phone verification id only, this definitely isn't happening on my apple tv. What did work for me is I have a late model Mac. On my Mac for some reason it asked for the verification code and I gave it and it seemed to accept it.

Hello LACAllen, if I enter that 6-digit code in the password field, it does not work as well. Please see...

That is not how to do it

you enter your password followed by the 6 digit verification code (no spaces) into the password filed (NOT the code and not the password but the password FOLLOWED by the code as posted by LACAllen

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.

Gail,

Thanks I was able to get this. I was having the problem on a 2nd gen apple tv. Someone was a genius and figured out that these apple text prompts expire after 30 seconds, which is tough when you hunting and pecking for the characters with an apple tv remote. The solution is to put your password in first then reply to the phone prompt to get the 6 digit key they want concatenated. Then you only have to put in the 6 numbers in 30 seconds. But I'm sure tons of people who have 7+ character apple passwords are going to say that it doesn't work. I wanted to cancel 2 factor auth but then they turn off your apple pay so I guess they are sacrificing the apple tv on the alter of 2 factor auth.

Thanks for posting back flash! Your findings may be extremely helpful for others.

The reason I asked is because I have an iPad 1, and was asked for a Verification Code to sign it back into Messages. I tried the password/verification code combination several times, but got the "invalid password" response. So, I tried using an App-specific passcode (this is an old device, remember), and voilà!

Thanks again,

GB

I am finding the once you do put in this 2 factor auth it doesn't ask for it a lot after that. Like you can buy a movie and it doesn't ask for a 2 factor auth to buy it.

Right, it only asks the first time you sign into your Apple ID after completely signing out. If you try to access your Apple account, however, it always asks.

Best,

Thanks, LACAllen. Your solution does work.

But Apple's instructions are not clear, hence the OP's enquiry (and that of dozens of others like me!).

Apple, why don't you provide clearer instructions, such as ...

"In the password field, type your password followed immediately by the verification code sent to your other device(s). Do not include spaces after the between the password and the verification code or within the verification code."

I see. Thank you!

I have tried this exactly like you said and it does not wo

Hva not been able to do this it does not work

I have this problem too - so annoying

Wow, thank you, it worked finally! 🙂

You're welcome.

Dear Apple, using the verification code after the password DOES NOT WORK. Mr. apple needs to review this, re design the software, and make it work.

Did you enter the password followed by the code? Password (ABC), followed by the code (123) or ABC123.
