I can't log in to the Apple TV app on my TV, despite rechecking my password multiple times. I think this may be due to having 2 factor verification, but I can't figure out how to turn it off.

This worked! I have the Sony x80k (a 2022 model), and this appears to be the solution. What a very random and specific thing to have to do to get a specific app to work - Sony/Apple should really fix that. Thank you for your help!
