AppleTV+ not able to enter verification code

Just started my subscription with appleTV+. The appletv library shows all my old movies I’ve purchased. So I try to watch a TV show and it has me sign on with AppleID....my phone gets sent a verification code. But it doesn’t have anywhere on the appleTV app to have me enter the code. So I try to play the show and it sends me back to sign in. But then the show says continue watching...???

Apple TV 3, 8

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 


  • email- submit
  • password123456- submit 


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

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
