When you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.


Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.

Four Thoughts


A. Try a New Power Session:

  1. Unplug: the Apple TV
  2. Wait: for 30 Seconds
  3. Plug: it back in


B. Restart your Router:

See if restarting your router does the trick.


C. Remove Account - Add it Back:

If that does not work, try remove, then signing back into, your Apple ID in the settings. Remove it form Apple ID and iCloud


D. Update your Apple TV:

Check for updates on your Apple TV - Compatibility might be the culprit, and an update might fix that.
