Hi Marcus, Go to this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915?cid=tw_sc_pub_all_twofactorauthentication Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find the "What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?" section to find the solution: "If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions, 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 or OS X El Capitan, 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."
