No place to enter verification code in iCloud

Hi. Reset my Apple ID password via iphone after someone overseas apparently tried to use it. Now I'm logging in on my Mac. I can enter the new password and receive the verification code on my phone, but there's no place to enter it in iCloud. It says "An Apple ID verification code is required. Type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices." But there's nowhere to enter the code.

So stupid! What do I do?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

What they mean is this...

All in one string >>> passwordverificationcode

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

Correction! Confusion was that DIFFERENT numbers appeared on my two phones! I didnt realise this. Used the code on the "other" phone and it worked! Thanks.

Then you must not trust the password box either.

The verification code is passed through the same dialog box as your password. Just at the same time.
