Onscreen code for Airport Express

I updated the firmware on my Airport Express (2nd gen) to 7.8, and when I try to use airplay now, I get this message: “AirPlay Code - Enter the onscreen code for ‘Airport Express’”. The Airport Express doesn’t have a screen, so....?

Ah, great. I had this problem and this seems to have fixed it, but I hope I won't need to keep inputting it every time I connect (I presume not).


What was interesting is that before this, my wife's iPhone 6 which needs its latest iOS update would connect to it as normal, while my up-to-date iPhone SE brought up the strange request for the on-screen code.


A 4 digit code under AirPlay password in the AirPort Utility seems to have fixed the problem for me, thank you.
