Family Sharing Security Code What is it?

My son uses an iCloud account which is set as Family sharing with my account as the organizer. When he tries to download a software from the AppStore he gets the prompt :

Payment Verification Required

Your Family Organizer, email@me.com must enter the security code for their payment method.

What is the security code? If I enter the password it comes back with verification failed. Please advice.
