Apple TV Modell : MC572FD/A

after update I cannot login anymore. After login it sends a second identification number on my iPhone that i cannot fill into the screen.

I tried password and following directly those numbers on my iPhone, but it did not work.

That seems to be a legacy model Apple TV (2nd generation).

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.
