Apple TV 2 - can’t login to iTunes Store and can’t update software
i have confirmed it is attached to my network and the iTunes password. I also get a message on my phone asking if the device can have access and then a 6 digit code to enter.

I had already done that above, but will reiterate.

Hello,
This sounds like it is related to Two-Factor Authentication. You will need to generate a secure code from another device and type it after your password. Example: password123456
If you are attempting to enter it all at once then you will be exceeding the time limit. You need to just enter the password, then manually request the code, and add it to the password. 2FA can’t be turned off unless it was recently enabled, and within the first 2 weeks.
The last update for the 2nd gen was in 2014, it is classified as obsolete so it is no longer supported and receiving updates.
I think you are correct about two factor authentication however this did not work. I am guessing I will have to turn off two factor Auth to login and update then turn it back on. Any other suggestions?
Please either point me to explicit instructions or provide explicit instructions on how to login to iTunes on my Apple TV gen 2. I have iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro available to help. Sorry that I am not following.
To help clarify...My iCloud account and my iTunes Store Accounts are different. The Apple TV Gen 2 wants my iTunes Store account.
