Apple TV 4 Apple ID verification,


I have set up my new Apple TV and logged in to my account. However, when I go to open Netflix or Amazon it says Apple ID verification enter the password and then there’s an account that does not belong to me. No where do I see that account listed in settings. How do I get around this or get rid of that Apple ID that does not belong to me?

Delete the app that was downloaded on a different account for the App Store.

Then re-download the app on your own account for the App Store.


You will run into this issue for each app that was installed through a different account, when that app is updated. To manage it for all apps at once, reset the device.
