When I try to sign in into itunes in my apple TV it asks for a verification code. I don't receive and verification code to any of my devices and their is no option saying: did not get a verification code?, like in my other devices. What can I do to get a verification code so that I can sign in into my apple TV?
If you are using 2 factor authentication on an older device…
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), however if this doesn't work it may be that you are running out of time using your authentication code and you may want to delay getting your code until the last minute or temporarily disable the 2 step verification/2 factor authentication, although it shouldn’t be necessary.
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
The following was posted by another user...
- 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.
After completing all the steps it only says: Unable to Sign in, Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later.
What can I do know?
You might try restarting the Apple TV and network router.
