If you really have an Apple TV (1st generation), the big 7.7" silver-white slab, then it will not connect to the iTunes Store anymore. Signing in will fail. That service ended 2.5 years ago for that model.

Hello Haywood2020.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see that you have an Apple TV 1st generation and need help with signing in using two-factor authentication. We will be glad to assist.


Please see the steps below from the following resource:Two-factor authentication for Apple ID


"If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field."


Cheers.
