When adding the verification code to my password, should there be any spaces between the password and the code? Or spaces between the first and last 2 numbers?

No, all together without spaces or other separating characters, 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, and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.
