Quickly log into Apple TV apps

If a password isn’t suggested, there is still a way of finding the right one from your saved list

Find your passwords

If Apple TV cannot find an associated password, you can tap this Passwords option and look through your list of icloud Keychain passwords for a suitable entry to use.

Knowledge base

Autofill on ‘alien’ Apple TVS What if someone else wants to log into an app on your Apple TV? Do they have to manually input their passwords? No. Apple TV can now get the Siri Remote to search for nearby iphones, allowing people who have never used a specific Apple TV to use their IOS keyboard. When they tap the prompt, they’ll need to enter the PIN on the Apple TV screen and use Faceid or Touchid to access their passwords.

Manage notifications

Tap this menu and you can manage how the Apple TV Keyboard notification appears. There’s an option to Deliver Quietly – that is, not on the lock screen or accompanied by a sound.

Verifying for security

To ensure that someone is not trying to gain entry to an Apple TV app without permission, the IOS device will verify you using Faceid on an iphone X or later or Touchid.

Use the keyboard

Even simply using the keyboard within IOS will be quicker than messing around with the Siri Remote and the cumbersome onscreen Apple TV keyboard.
