This is part feature request, part bug fix. When I am prompted for the user PIN for Plex on my Samsung TV, I can’t use the number keypad on my TV remote to enter the PIN, I have to select numbers on an on-screen number pad, which is not only slow, it also shows anyone in the room what my PIN is (my kids!). Really dumb way to implement this in my view. Needs to be changed to allow the use of numbers on the TV remote so that people in the room don’t know what I’m entering. ---

Please intergrate the numbers on the keypad to work when entering in pin. This should be private.
