Logging into apple tv on a roku away from home (no iphone)

I don't have an iphone only a mac at home. I do have an apple tv subscription. When I try to log into apple tv on a roku at my gf's house it wants two factor verification after the password. It asks me enter from my trusted device (which is not present). There is no option to get the verification code texted instead to my (android) phone on the roku. Any way around this (apart from getting my gf to log in while I'm at home)?

iMac, OS X 10.11

Hi Jimbob40,


Thank you for clarifying further. There is another option for receiving a code for two-factor authentication, you may be able to receive a text message or phone call as described here:


"Get a text or phone call

If you don’t have a trusted device handy, you can have a verification code sent to your trusted phone number as a text message or phone call.

  1. Click Didn't get a verification code on the sign in screen.
  2. Choose to have the code sent to your trusted phone number.
  3. You'll get a text message or phone call from Apple with your verification code. This text message might include an additional domain validation line. This line includes the @ symbol, the website name, and your code (for example: @icloud.com #123456 %apple.com).

A verification code displays on trusted iPhone

4. Enter the code on your other device to complete sign in."

Hello Jimbob40,


We would like to see how we can help you with your Apple ID. If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
