Hi, I have a password attached to my account so my kids can’t access it. They are too young to understand it yet but if I ever needed to use it in front of them they will eventually be able to work it out. While I could ask them to leave the room, the Amazon fire tv has a really good way of handling this. You can enter a pin and you don’t know what is being entered if you are looking at the tv. It would be nice if plex could adopt the same method, I don’t think it would be that much work. I can work with it, and just make sure I don’t need to access it when they are around but it makes sense. ---

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing such an option. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. > [@Hide PIN entry so not everybody in the room can see it // mod: enter pin via remote’s keypad](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hide-pin-entry-so-not-everybody-in-the-room-can-see-it/318833): > > I find it annoying that I have to use the arrows to ender in my pin, especially with other people in the room while watching something. Please intergrate the numbers on the keypad to work when entering in pin. This should be private. Related Thread: [Samsung TV app \*\*PIN NUMBER EPIC FAIL!\*\* - #2 by amsquires83](https://forums.plex.tv/t/samsung-tv-app-pin-number-epic-fail/298990/2) There’s also a number of similar suggestions asking for alternatives to enter the pin (e.g. using a mobile Plex app) > [@Enter PIN on streaming devices using mobile plex app](https://forums.plex.tv/t/enter-pin-on-streaming-devices-using-mobile-plex-app/276486): > > 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’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate. ---
