Apple TV Verification

I’ve tried numerous times to enter my password and then the verification code it sent me. The next thing I receive is I have entered it in incorrectly.


After trying many times and I changed my password to ensure everything was correct.


When you receive the last message asking if it should remember the password, I have answered yes and no. It doesn’t seem to make a difference.


I have even tried entering in a space between the two sets of the verification code; that doesn’t work either.


Am I missing something too basic here?

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


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.
