Help configuring Secure remote access, and enabling Alexa in the process


Recommended Posts

Primary goal - I want to use Alexa, and from my understanding, I need Emby exposed to the public internet

Secondary goal - Since it'll be online, I might as well use my multiple user accounts (mom/dad/kids) to access content.....securely - But I do not want to deal w/ passwords @ home

 

At the moment, I have 3 user accounts w/ no passwords and the 'dad' profile connected to Emby connect.  I have temporarily enabled remote access (port forwarding etc.) and was able to log in, however, I do not want my 3 accounts accessible.  Sure I can give them passwords, but does that mean when viewing Emby from home on my various devices (browser, Fire TV, Shield) I'll have to log in each time? Is there a 'remember password' option and is it reliable?

SOLVED: I also posted in other groups, and found the answer.  What I'm going to do (and just discovered), is I can password protect my accounts and click the checkbox to "enable sign-in w/ easy pin" - such an awesome feature.  Wish I knew about this earlier.
