Apple TV Box Two Factor Authentication
Since I’ve turned on Two Factor Authentication on my devices I can’t sign into my Apple TV ( first generation). It says I need to put in the code I received but there’s nowhere to do so. Any ideas?

Probably 2nd or 3rd (black), as the 1st (silver-white) can’t access online Apple services anymore for several years now.
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.
