You will get the code and can do as Urquhart suggested to manually request the code once you enter the password (do not click submit yet) and there’s other ways to receive this code. If you look at the help link: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


You should get the pop up, click Allow to display the code. It may pop up on other devices as well, choose whichever you want, it can time out if not entered quick enough

Apple TV model MC572KS/A is also known as Apple TV (2nd generation).


When you have an Apple TV (2nd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. 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. That should help you get passed the time limit.
