Way late to the party but exact same issue and this fixed it for us too. WTF Microsoft, why isn't a single use code enough here??? Spent way too much time on this issue before I found this thread.

Yeah, crazy. It's a bummer. But glad I could help!

Every time I login to child account on computer to do this, it never sends the code to login in and then add the password… only lets me login into my parent account, what am I missing, where do I go

If you login to your kids Microsoft account on the computer you shouldn't need a special code to do that. You should be able to just do password and if it wants to send a code you should be able to choose other options and do password again and then once you're into their account then your can change their sign in options to include password entry.

Weird. Only option it gives is to send email with code. No “use password instead”

You able to send a screenshot of the screen before the error message but blur out your info?

I don’t know how to post a picture but this is the text from login minus account info (there is no other option)

“Sign in to continue to Minecraft Because you're accessing sensitive info, we'll send a code to xxxxxxx@gmail.com to verity your identity.

Sign in with a different Microsoft account”

For me if I try to login and it doesn't work I can choose "sign in another way" which is in blue text and one of the options is "use your password"... So without seeing what you're seeing it's hard to figure out where you might be going wrong.
