Q: Problem with two-factor authentication with Apple TV.
I attempted to sign-in to my Apple TV (2nd generation, OS and updates are up-to-date), the log-in failed and indicated I had to use the two-factor authentication which I recently setup on my trusted Apple devices that included my iMac, iPhone and iPad. As expected, I received a noticed on my trusted Apple devices with the six-digit verification code indicating to add this six-digit verification code to the end of my password when signing into the Apple TV. I put in my password, and added the six-digit verification code to the end on my password. It did not work. Now I can't sign in. Any suggestions for signing into the 2nd generation Apple TV using the two-factor authentication? Is this Apple TV device not supported?
