- From an iPhone or iPad, go into "Settings" => click on the top bar with your name and "Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store".
- While still on iPhone or iPad, tap on "Password & Security", then tap on "Get Verification Code", LEAVE the supplied verification code visible.
- Go to the iTunes login on your AppleTV settings and start logging in.
- When it asks for your password, enter your password and add the verification code to the end of your password BUT DO NOT HIT SUBMIT YET !!!
- Go back to your iPhone/iPad and tap on "OK" on the verification code to make it go away.
- Now go back to your AppleTV and submit the password.

I can try doing it faster, but I wasn't getting the code until the Apple TV prompted me, and then I was entering it as fast as I can with the Apple TV remote and the style of the keypad.. I'm not sure I could do it any faster. How fast does it have to be?
Could you be entering it all too slowly? Try getting your authentication code at the last minute to avoid it timing out.
apple tv keeps going back to itunes sign in but never actually signs in
