I recently found my 4th gen iPod touch and would like to use it on vacation so that my phone is free. I cannot sign into my Apple/iCloud account on the iPod because it requires 2 factor authentication. Each time I attempt to log in, I receive the numbers on my iPhone, but there is no where to enter the digits on the iPod. How can I fix this so that I can use my iPod again?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6
What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?
If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.
