With 2 factor authentication, how often will an AppleTV ask for a code?

I use my AppleTV a LOT. If I turn on 2FA, will I have to enter a code every time I do simple things like watching a movie (or TV show), listening to music, viewing a photo, or launching an app?


Because if it's going to bother me that much, I think I'd rather not bother.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

It is supposed to happen only for new sign-ins. So if you never sign out or reset, then it should be a one time thing per device per account.
