Hi. If you have Apple TV 1 (silver box), your only option is to disable 2-factor authentication. If you have Apple TV 2 or 3 (black box, silver remote), this Re: appleTV keeps asking for appleID, password and authentication code circularly post describes the technique. Timing is critical.
Temporarily disable 2-step or 2-factor verification. You are not the only one with this problem.
Are you using 2-step (4 digits) or 2-factor (6 digits)?

I'm having the same issue. The code will work on one device but not the other. Pretty lousy implementation. Any word on whether it is a known issue?
You should be able to append the code to your password and enter that (i.e. if your password is ABC and your code is 123, enter ABC123).
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
This is happening to us as well. Nothing works. This is a pretty annoying feature. Can't watch anything on Apple TV. Nothing helps to fix this issue
