Two-factor authentication is preventing me from accessing Apple TV+ on my Apple TV . It goes through a constant loop of asking me for my password and then since it dies not let me enter the code sent to my phone, it starts over again.
Please help!
If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd 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.
Will I have to do this every time I want to watch Apple TV+?
I believe only when you reset the device, or your account, or use your account for a new feature. Normally the verified sign-in should be retained.
This works! Thank you. Will I have to do this every time I want to watch Apple TV+?
