I use my iphone13 as a remote for AppleTV. Has been working fine, until lately - my phone is asking me to enter a passcode (4 digits) on AppleTV to use it, but if I can't use it, how can I enter a code? I know where to enter the code, but need to get to AppleTV to do it. A bit of a conundrum.

If the pairing was lost, then you may have to set it up again.
The Apple TV (3rd generation) needs a functional remote to set up the Apple TV Remote widget in Control Center.
For the Apple TV (3rd generation), your options are:
The Apple TV (2nd generation) is not compatible with the Apple TV Remote widget in Control Center.
For the Apple TV (2nd generation), your option is:
· Apple TV asks for Apple ID password, enter it.
· An authentication code will be sent to your iPhone or iPad or Mac.
· Apple TV asks for the Apple ID password again, enter it followed by the authentication code. For example if your Apple ID password is XYZ123 and the authentication code is 4567 enter XYZ1234567
· Do this quickly or it will time out!
Better yet, please buy a more up-to-date Apple TV!
I would recommend replacing it. If you are in the USA Amazon is selling the 32GB 4K model for $119 which is a 33% savings. Get rid of the old one and leave all the problems you are having behind.
It's the first one, cane with the skinny siver remote (which i ni longer have)
