Plex, was just wondering when will we be allowed to modify a managed users profile picture? I hate seeing this first letter of that users name only. Also we currently have a 4 digit PIN number protecting our main account or any other managed user account created. Any thoughts or news on upgrading this to more than just a 4 digit number, or possibly being able to protect it with a strong password?
thanks,
John
I’d really like this ability too.

No idea when, but it’ll come.

What is your use case?
Plex Home is for users in the same household. Making it easy to make restricted user accounts for children and also easy to switch between accounts on commonly used Plex clients.
Your demand for a strong password sounds as if you included people into your Plex Home which should have been added as Plex Friends instead. Thus having their own plex.tv account with own username and password and no possibility to simply switch into your account.

Hi Otto,
Thanks for the response, use case is gave my cousin an acct and she does live in a different household. And I don’t want her ‘trying’ to get into my account. Then I would have her searching or other family members. I guess I could create a separate acct for her like you said. I will check out the link you provided, thanks.
So, my use case is for my family in the same household, but I sometimes get sick of logging in to all the devices. Nowadays there are tons and for some reason they log themselves out every once in a while and so my siblings have to ask me to log in for them. It would be nice if they could log in to their managed user account straight away with their own password, even if they still use my email address since it is the one that is linked to the Plex Pass.
Plex, I just had an idea of how to fix this. If we were able to select an option specific to the account and not the device that would require you to enter the password for the account and not automatically log you in to the user that’s not a managed user, then I could just change the password so my siblings can log in without giving them access to my account and all the privileges associated with it. Could you please incorporate this in some way!!!
