I have managed users on my local network using Roku TVs. I would previously connect these users using a code. Plex on the Roku device would generate a 4 digit code that I would input into plex.tv/link (logged in as me). Now my managed users only get a log in with email prompt. On the managed side,…

Roku mandated change. You can still PIN protect Plex Home accounts, but no more login using plex.tv/link. [image] Plex on Roku Login: Missing the easy ‘https://plex.tv/link’ process Streaming Devices Server Version#: Version 1.32.5.7349 Roku Player Version#: 7.6.1.8501-…

So what email login do I use for the managed logins… the admin’s? As far as I know managed users do not have an email address attached in Plex. Using the admin pw sounds like a bad idea.

You were always logging in with the admin account. Using plex.tv/link hid your password from the end user. I understand the frustration. I don’t like it either, but it was mandated by Roku. I’ve a very long password on my Plex account and it is a pain to enter it with a remote control. You coul…

Thanks for that. So in practice, the only real difference is that I will have to do the physical initial login. I’ll then switch to the managed user then I’ll be at the same point as if they logged in with a code. Hope I’m seeing that correctly. All the users are in my home, but there are 8 device…

Having only one guest account makes it easy. Create another Plex account using a free e-mail account from Google, Yahoo, etc. Invite the second, “guest,” account into your Plex Home and share the desired libraries with it. If someone accidentally logs out, you can give them the guest account logi…

Sweet that sounds perfect. Just to be clear, I’m creating a new Plex account altogether for this, vs creating a new full user under my account?

Managed users can no longer sign in with a code?
