Where do I "type your password followed by the ...

I'm sure it's been asked and answered 10,000 times already, but can't find a **** thing in these discussions.

On an iPhone 4s, trying to sign into icloud (in icloud settings), I get the message "Apple ID Verification Code Required: type your password followed by the verification code shown on your other devices."

I get the verification number on an iPad.

Where on earth do I type this code!!!

Pressing "Ok" just puts me back to the sign in page and if I try to sign in it just repeats the process with a new code.

Thanks.

N.

What iOS version is on the 4s?

If it's pre 9, you have to enter the verification code along with your regular password, which matches the wording of the message.

For example... Mypassw0rdverificationcode

I just tried to replicate your issue - when I signed into iCloud on my phone it did not ask for a verification code

Can you perhaps post a picture of the message on your screen?

Settings: iCloud, sign in… after that nothing happens.

This sounds like you have either 2 Step Verification or 2 Factor Authorization enabled on your Apple ID.

Both use codes sent to trusted devices.

For some reason OP appears not to be getting the keypad on the phone to key in the verification code sent to the other device

iOS 7.1.2 "Your software is up to date"

I don't have access to the iPad right now, but if you are right — seriously? I'm just supposed to know that?!? Password + verification code in the password field unlike every other password field I've ever used ever?!? That's logical according to apple? I've never in my life added any extra characters to a password field, but in this one special apple case…

I think you are right, but will see. But seriously Apple, what are you thinking?

Will try tomorrow.

Yeah... seriously.

You know this by looking at the article I sent you earlier.

And understanding the additional "things" that go along with using 2 factor authentication. To deliver a higher level of security, procedures are now different.

You can update a 4s to iOS 9.x, but not a 4. Which do you have? If you are seeing 7.1.2 as up to date, you don't have a 4s, you have a 4.

It's now special because you asked Apple to make it special. You still haven't actually answered if you enabled 2 factor authentication. It sounds like you have, and if you did, YOU changed the game, not Apple.

>>> But seriously Apple, what are you thinking? <<<

They are thinking you wanted extra account security, which you asked for.

If you did not enable 2 factor authentications, well that's different again.

Okay. That was it.

So it's the password+the code directly in the password field.

A clearer on screen message and/or the last line of the help screen in bold would help.

One just expects when asked to enter a code you will be presented with a field that says "enter code here" or the like.

I've been using computers since the Vic 20 came out and this is the first time I've ever entered something other than my password in a password field.

That is not intuitive, no matter who engaged the verification process.

I will absolutely agree it's not intuitive...

That is why it's explained in the screen shot I showed earlier, which is from the article explaining (among many other things) how to use 2 factor authentication with an older version of iOS.

Problem is - He didn't ask for it, just like other people who had 2FA enabled that I have spoken to. None of them asked. None of them knew. If one of two told me they do not know - I would think mistake, human error. Not one or two. Poorest execution by Apple that any other feature that I know.

Sorry, but the OP never answered the question of whether he enabled 2FA or not.

>>> That is not intuitive, no matter who engaged the verification process. <<<  I take this to mean he did.

Sigh. Thought that worked. Now it's caught in an eternal validation loop.

And I have no idea wether or not I enabled two factor authentication. I'm sitting here with two MacBooks, two iPads, and three iPhones from different generations that are linked to three different AppleID's that have been being used for years. Too many variables for me to have clue about some setting I changed or didn't change somewhere along the line.

About the loop: the iPhone 4s is showing a message "Additional verification required", when I click settings it goes to the account screen waits a few seconds and then shows "terms and conditions". Then if I agree, it tries to verify and then gives the "Apple ID Verification Code Required" screen. But now doesn't send a message to the other devices. Then if I leave it for a second it gives the "Additional verification required" screen and the loop begins again.

Occasionally it crashes the settings screen entirely around about here.

And then 20 seconds later, starts up again.

Ready to throw it out the window.

I did a full restore with load from backup, but I think I now have to do a clean restore.

Great that it's secure, but there comes a point where you just want to scream at it "I'm me! For the love of all that's sacred, I'm me!"

To see what security you are using for your Apple ID.

On your iPad, go to settings > iCloud. Tap on your Apple ID. Then go to password and security.

What do you see there?

Thank you. Yes two factor is on.

I've gone to applied.apple.com. Thought about turning two factor off, but then I'm back to the idiot questions (it's my father's phone, getting the same answers to those questions twice is near impossible – when it's talking about friends from school it's talking about things that happened in WW2. Not worth the effort).

So now with a brand new clean install. It's asking for AppleID plus code, but no code is now showing up on his iPad or Computer. Tried the iPad's "Get Verification Code", but iPhone won't take those in the password+code password field.
