apple tv verification loop

Now my old apple tv device asks you to sign in you enter email and password then the 2 step verification code is sent to my phone, now it actually asks you to type in the verification code and when you do it goes back to the email, password?

if you have an older model ATV, the code is entered onto the end of the password as one entry. Example: “password123456” then click submit 


If you need more time you can have the code sent to you:

If you have a 2nd or 3rd Gen ATV (you said it was old) there is no area to enter numbers, after you’ve done the password

Please Identify your Apple TV model


You put in your email - submit- then add your password with the code right on the end of your password (no spaces) altogether as one entry - then click submit

  • email- submit
  • password123456- submit


If you don’t have the older model and the code isn’t being accepted, you are taking to long once it’s sent to you. (It expires)

If you need more time to have the code sent to you:
