If you have an older model Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may need to sign in using an adjusted procedure. Type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. To avoid exceeding the time limit, do it likt this: Enter the characters for your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password, and then submit.
