Hi Mary, I don't own any Android devices, but I wonder if that is one of these cases where you need to log into your Apple account and get a one-time password or, as some places call it, an app specific password. If you use two-factor authentication for Outlook.com you need such a password for setting up your email on a PC in Outlook 2016. I just signed in to my account at http://appleid.apple.com and Apple does call these type of passwords app-specific passwords. Once you are signed in you can just go to the Security section (Security is a heading level 2) and then you have several heading level 3 items: Password, Two-Factor Authentication, Trusted Phone numbers and then you come to App-Specific Passwords. Underneath that is simply a "Generate Password" button, activate it and if you are using Windows with Jaws you get dropped into Application Mode and are in an edit box. You can enter a label for the password you are generating, e.g. Apple Music. Then find and activate the "Create" button and a password will be generated. The password that is created will be sixteen letters in groups of 4 with a dash in between each group, here is an example of one I generated: sndm-zuup-arlp-ckxi Try to generate a password like this and use it when you sign in to Apple Music on your Android, if you aren't prompted to enter the security code displayed on your iPhone then this should work.

I have a Nexus six android phone, and hopefully soon will have a Z TE Exxon seven mini. I have had an Apple Music account since it started a few years ago on my iPhone, then on the Nexus, when that became available. It has worked well on the iPhone and continues to do so. Recently, I upgraded to two factor authentication, which requires that you get a code which you must type in before your device can have access to your Apple ID and account. The Nexus six had worked great up until I had to redo everything with the two factor identification and my new password. So, what you do is you type in your Apple ID if it's not already there, which mine was, then you type in your password and sign in. At that point, you get an identification code from Apple, and you get a note on your android device telling you that you must type this identification code into the password field after your password. On Apple products, the code field where you type is separate from the password field. So, on the Nexus, after being told that you have to enter this code, you have a retry and a cancel. cancel takes you completely out of the dialogue and back into the program. Heading retry gives you access to the same fields as before, Apple ID and password. Apple ID is filled in. At this point, if I type my password followed by a space followed by the necessary code, I get told that my password is wrong. If I run it together with my password, same thing. It's wrong. I am out of ideas. Has anyone successfully signed in to an android device with two factor identification for an Apple ID?
