I'm trying to log in to Apple TV and it asks for my Itunes information. I put in my apple ID and password and it keeps saying it is incorrect, even though I just used it to login on my MAC and it was fine. Any help is appreciated. I tried putting the multi factor login number after the password and that didn't work either. I have a 3rd generation Apple TV.
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.

Thanks for reporting back, and great that you have it working now.
Turns out I was not logged into ITunes on my Mac. Once I did that then I was able to access Apple TV. Go Figure! Thanks for your help. I tried that as well but it didn't get me there.
