I have to enter my password every time I start the apple tv. Then it sends me a verification code on my phone but there is no place to enter it.

if you have an older model ATV, the code is entered onto the end of the password as one entry. Example: “password123456” then click submit 


  • email- submit
  • password123456- submit 


If you need more time you can have the code sent to you:

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
