Trying to sign into Apple TV+ app on my Apple TV. I get the verification code on my phone, but I’m not getting an option to enter that verification on my device.

This is super, duper awkward. Struggled mightily with this process because it didn't follow the posts. In the end, had to start with signing out as noted. So, I sign out, sign back in, get a code. Then I go back in to follow these silly instructions but now it DOES ask me for a 6 digit code with a box to enter it in. So I entered it - but it STILL doesn't work. Now I go back again and sign out and sign in with the code tacked onto the end of the password and select not to remember for iTunes purchases. This FINALLY worked. What is extremely irritating about Apple in general is the assumption is it is intuitive. Please remove the rose colored Apple glasses. This process stinks. This is a classic example that you can't see how frustrating it is to work with your products at times. Couldn't there have been a note added to the screen for the sign up of the app? Anything to guide you to this online forum prior to spending ridiculous amounts of time chasing codes on various phones, ipads, etc?

But where, pray tell, do I enter the verification code on my Apple TV 3rd generation. It does not prompt me for the code.

Thanks vazandrew, but here's the problem - when I use my Apple TV, I don't enter a password, so my question remains, how do I get the prompt to enter the password (plus the 6 digit code)?

Here's what's not making sense. Step 1: (even though you've been signed in to your device for many years) SIGN OUT. Step 2: Do what they say.

Solved my own problem.

It wouldn’t have been asking for verification if you were still signed in. There is no need for the attitude.

I have same issue, cannot get any answer from Apple or iTunes site

Thank you. This is the perfect instruction. Takes a little time but it's exact! I'm glad Lake Michigan is still television free.

That is, rolf116's instruction

Followed this and signed out in Settings then recreated my username and entered my CHANGED password and it worked a treat.

Ive done that and i keep getting wrong password/ yish

do I put a space in between

No, all together as one string. E.g. “Passwrod123456”.

THANK YOU!

This is the only thing that worked for me and I've been trying for 3 months for answer to this issue.

FINALLY!!!!

Maybe you’re not doing it right. Add the code right onto the end of your password as one entry. Example: Password123456. Then click submit

That was super helpful! I too almost threw out my Apple TV+! So thank you for posting your solution. Much appreciated.
