Hello Joe, I'm not certain of what you are experiencing but I can tell you that two-factor authentication does work in Windows 7 and Windows 10, in iTunes.
I have not attempted to read the 6-digit entry field with Jaws. I tend to use Zoomtext on my Windows Desktop computers so cannot speak to the screen reader accessability of the UI but I can say for certain that the entry field does appear after one enters his/her Apple ID and Password. Just so you know, one can disable 2-factor authentication via a web browser at: http://appleid.apple.com. Just so you understand, with 2-factor enabled, one must begin the login sequence as usual, by entering an Apple ID and password. Then, if this is done correctly, en entry UI appears with 6 blank spots in which one is to enter the 6-digit security code that was sent to an authorized device. If a device is not available, then one can choose to have the code sent to a trusted phone via SMS. Now when the code is sent to an authorized device, it will appear as a small dialog box that you must explore-by-touch to understand. The process can seem a bit overwhelming the first time but one quickly becomes accustomed to the procedure.

I need to authorize a windows based computer for my itunes account. So I get to the point where apple send a code to my phone. The instructions say to enter your password followed by the 6 digit code. No matter how many times I do this, I can not access my account to download purchasses that are on my phone, but I want them in my pc music library. Whatever Itunes or account event i initiate, whether it's authroizing the machine, making a purchase, viewing my account, the code is not working. Doesn't matter which screen reader is in use at the time. I'm hoping to have a friend take a look on the screen to see if some important pop up area is not being viewed by the screen reader. But if someone knows a work around this, that would be good. I'd even like to turn off 2 factor authentication, but I bet you can't do that. Or modify it, say so that when you tell the authorized device to allow access from the unauthorized device, that would be sifficient. Or even the answer to a security question, but where to enter the data, that appears to be the issue. Many thanks.
