I enabled 2 step authentication on my Apple ID last week and have just now foruns out that I can no longer stream any of my Apple purchases or even login to make purchases on my ATV2. I have found out that the ATV2 doesn't support 2 step so there is nothing I can do.

I am thinking of going to MicroCenter and buying two of the ATV3 and I have heard that they support 2 step. Can anyone confirm? They are $69 at MicroCenter or BestBuy for $64 and I have $30 in certificates I can use.

I don't care about the latest ATV because I don't care about running apps on my TV, I have six phones here I can do that on plus an iPad and I don't play any games.

So again, can anyone confirm that the ATV3 can support two factor authentication? Thanks
