Is the verification Code shown on same line with password on Apple TV?

I need to enter the verification code on my Apple TV sign in. It says enter after the password. There are no seperate boxes shown. Am I supposed to enter on the same line as password. If so, it does not work. I cannot get into Apple TV and have tried over weeks.

For 2nd and 3rd generation: yes, enter both in the same field, like: password123456.

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.
