FireTV (maybe others too) sometimes does not require a PIN


Recommended Posts

I have an issue that happens randomly it seems. I have my user with "Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely" and then setup to allow pin on local network. The problem is on any of my 3 FireTV 4k max (gen 1) devices when i click my profile to login it will just login without asking for my pin (every 1 in 20 times or so). I used to think that maybe it was a timing thing with how long ago I logged in on my phone (which has the account saved and doesn't ask for any password or pin) or how long ago since logging in to a different or the same firetv but it happened this morning after 8 hours of not touching any device or app. Wondering if anyone has experienced this on any device?

Hi.  If you want to always require a password, check the box in the Startup Options to always require the password.

Never knew that option existed. I have enabled it so I will see if I ever have that issue again. Just weird it would ask for a password only like 1 in 20 times.
