When trying to sign into my account on the above it’s giving a message that account doesn’t exist. It’s also not showing in iCloud. It happened after discontinued photo stream. Yes I’m signed in on the account with my phone and recently purchased Apple Watch. Account is valid!! Apple TV otherwise is working ok
The 2012/2013 model Apple TV (3rd generation) [A1427 or A1469] may need a special procedure (see below) to sign in for iTunes Store related services. This model cannot connect anymore for iCloud services. iCloud has changed, but the old system software hasn’t changed with it. See: discussions.apple.com/thread/255664587.

If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple Account, 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.
