Hello

is it possible to login to apple tv if my apple account is using a physical security ley like a yubikey?

the browser within the apple doesn’t seem to be able to handle that

Thanks

Same problem here…have 2fa setup on apple account, and the browser just fails at recognizing it.

Same problem here. The docs even say that Trakt recommends setting up 2FA for connected streaming apps, so this not to be supported properly is a bummer.

I got some logs:

A physical key is not supported currently. Younify is looking for a way to support this, but they haven’t found one yet.

Thank you for the reply. That’s unfortunate.
