I am trying to log into my iCloud account from my 3rd Gen Apple TV - it asks for the 2 factor authentication code an dI get a message saying iCloud is currently unavailable. I used the ID for the iTunes Store login without any issues - the 2 Factor Authentication worked fine, so what is the issue here? I have tried pasting the code into the password as described in other discussions, but still get the same message.
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.
Hi,
did you get a response from the technican? I am having the same issue and cant get the iCloud Login to work. iTunes is working fine.
thanks
Did anyone find a way to go through this? That's just dumb. Can't we just disable the 2AF, log into the iCloud and then enable it again?
Apple support told me you cannot disable 2FA now.
Did you manage to get it fixed? Having the same problem over here. Used to work by adding in the verification code immediately after the password in the same box. Doesn’t work anymore 😫
Why don't you stop complaining about your 12 year old device, and get something new that is supported.
Maybe because I don’t really have money for this? If you’re nos concerned by the problem that we have, just don’t come here lol? What a dull life you have.
I have the latest generation Apple TV and it’s bricked because of this
What do you mean by ‘bricked’?
its not a useful electronic device any more, it is like an actual brick. you can use a bricked device as a doorstop or even stack many of them into a wall with some mortar if you want.
Apple TV 3rd Gen
