Why are we no longer able to use quick login option for roku? I had to set up a roku device for a new TV location where I wanted to connect to plex server and was extremely disappointed that I had to use the remote to manually type in a very complex, random character password. It took about 10 min to login.
Why are they making these horrible decisions with the client side apps/devices?
In addition to what @OttoKerner shared, use the Roku mobile app to make use of a keyboard.
Why was this changed, that’s what I am trying to figure out?
No thanks, I’m not interested in another app to use as a keyboard. Nothing was wrong with the previous method of logging in with the url and code. This is mainly for others that use plex that are tech challenged, before it was relatively easy, now they have to get anothr app or fumble with typing in a long, complex password with a remote.
I agree, it’s not ideal. Roku changed their policy and plex had to remove that method of logging in so users are stuck typing in the full username/password.

Looks like I have a few paperweights, now. Goodbye Roku devices.
