Apple TV >> ID Apple

Hi. I'm trying to enter my ID Apple on my Apple TV. But it always tells that my ID and password are incorrect. I do see the two steps code on my laptop to approve the connection, but on the Apple TV I never see the option to add the numeric security code.

What am I doing wrong?

If 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.
