Instead of inputting the pin on you Smart-TV, XBox, PS4, Roku, AppleTV… It would be great if it could get prompted in your mobile plex app to allow the login. Almost like a two-factor authentication thing. ---

I would also add the protection of Items or Library by putting a PIN (like on cable-tuners), instead of switching user accounts. ---

2022 clean-up: duplicate > [@Add number pad to Plex Companion to allow secure login](https://forums.plex.tv/t/add-number-pad-to-plex-companion-to-allow-secure-login/159959): > > It would be very beneficial to have a number pad in Plex Companion in cases when one has to select PIN-protected user on a controlled Plex player. Using up/down/left/right buttons works, but is not secure since the PIN is visible in the Plex player.
