My Apple TV says my Apple ID and password are incorrect. How do I fix it? I tried changing my password and that didn’t help. I get the notification that I’m trying to sign in and I accept but still not working.
Is this for a new account, or do you have this account working on other devices (e.g. iPhone)?
In case of a new account, then some account information may be incomplete, invalid, or unverified.
______________________________ If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.
Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.
