Apple TV keeps asking for my apple id

Apple TV keeps asking for my Apple ID. I enter, along with my password but it never allows for me to enter in the "trusted" 6. digit # that gets sent to my phone. What do I. do?

Do you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)?

The procedure of entering the password and verification code together in the password field can be confusing. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.


Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit.
