New ipod touch verification code?

I just received a new iPod touch 5th Gen and I am trying to set it up. I sign in with my Apple ID and press next and then a pop up asks to enter the verification code after the ID but theres nowhere to type it. The code comes up on my other devices but how can I type into the iPod? Thanks in advance. Rob

Hello rmp0012002,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with two-factor authentication with your iPod. I am happy to help you with this.


This article talks about entering the code right after the password, without any spaces between them, stating: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

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.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.
