I'm trying to log into my icloud account on the Apple tv and I keep getting this error message. The log in details are correct and working on my phone and computer, but for some reason they don't work here. I can't figure out why!!?

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.
