Apple TV asks for Apple ID password, enter it.
An authentication code will be sent to your iPhone or iPad or Mac.
Apple TV asks for the Apple ID password again, enter it followed by the authentication code. For example if your Apple ID password is XYZ123 and the authentication code is 4567 enter XYZ1234567
Do this quickly or it will time out!

On older devices you need to enter the password and code together. To stay within the time limit you will need to enter the password, then manually request the code, and then add it to the password. Be aware that you will also need the physical remote to pair the remote app with an older Apple TV. The alternative would be restoring the unit and then pairing with a BT keyboard upon startup.
