Apple TV does not recognize my password

1. Enter the verification code along with your password

This issue can occur on older Apple TV models, especially if you’re using two-factor authentication. To fix the problem, you need to do the following:

1. On your Apple TV, enter your password but don’t try to sign in yet.
2. On the iOS device go to Settings > iCloud > your iCloud > Password & Security > Get Verification code.
3. Now enter the verification right after the password on your Apple TV.

Note: The format of your password on the Apple TV should be password123456 where the password is your actual password and the array of numbers is the verification code.

2. Disable two-factor authentication

If Apple TV doesn’t recognize your password, you can fix the problem simply by disabling two-factor authentication. This might not be the best solution because you’re leaving your Apple ID account less secure, but it’s a solid workaround if other solutions didn’t fix your problem.
