Apple TV verificaiton code

A started the trial subscription to Apple TV from my 2015 Macbook Air. Where do I enter the verification code? I have tried my password to iTunes and the code in the same box. It doesnt work. Very frustrating, we do not want to watch from our laptop.

  • Apple TV asks for Apple ID password, enter it.
  • An authentication code will be sent to your iPhone or iPad or Mac.
  • Apple TV asks for the Apple ID password again, enter it followed by the authentication code. For example if your Apple ID password is XYZ123 and the authentication code is 4567 enter XYZ1234567
  • Do this quickly or it will time out!

Presumably you have an Apple TV (3rd generation). You may be asked to type in your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.

There is a time limit before the code expires, so it is best to request a new code after entering the characters of your password, to use those precious seconds effectively for just the code.
