Two factor auth issue with iTunes

[somewhatjustin]

Has anyone else been having this problem?

I open up iTunes and it says I need to log in because "Your iCloud session has expired". I put in my ID and password, hit ok, then it says I need a verification code. So my iPhone gets a notification and a code, perfect. But now what? There's no additional dialog on my Mac. No place to put the code. What do I do? I tried restarting and logging in and out of iCloud.

I had this same problem yesterday. What I needed to do was append the verification code to the end of my password in the box that says that I need the verification code. I am assuming that this is a mistake that will be cleared up later. After I got in my first time it has been much smoother any time I have had to use the verification code.

That's weird. Worked perfectly, though. Thanks!

This has to do with the new two-factor authentication in El Capitan and iOS 9.

What if I am using two-factor authentication on a device running an older version of iOS or OS X?
For the best experience with two-factor authentication, you should update all your Apple devices to iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan.

If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions, you may be prompted to append your six-digit verification code to the end of your password instead of in a dedicated verification code field. In addition, devices running older OS versions will not receive verification codes, except in the case of an iPhone that can receive verification codes via a text message or phone call to your trusted phone number.
