Apple TV asks me for iCloud password, but not taking the authorization code

Hi, recently my Apple TV3 asks me for password, I entered, then my phone tries to give the authorization code to enter for Apple TV. But Apple TV has no user interface to enter that code.


So my Apple TV is just stuck at the password error page.


How can I turn off the 2-way authorization to by pass this error.


Sad and Disappointed.

You may experience that the code is getting invalidated by the time it takes to enter both the password and the verification code.


Instead, try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code (ignoring earlier codes), then append that code to the password within 30 seconds, then submit.

You can't turn off Two-Factor Authentication, but it's still possible to log in to your Apple TV.


  1. Get a verification code from Settings on a verified device. You can learn how to do this here: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
  2. Type your password immediately followed by the verification code into the password field on your Apple TV.


Example:

Password: password

Verification Code: 123446

You type: password123446
