It sounds like you have two-factor authentication for your Apple ID account. It is an important safety feature to prevent misuse of your account.


If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), then it may not be obvious what to do with the verification code that is send to you, as there may be no separate request for it.

When you sign in on one of those models, enter your password like normal, but do not submit yet. Then manually request a new verification code. Then append that code to the password (without spaces or anything). Then submit. Now it should be working.
