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.

Please intergrate the numbers on the keypad to work when entering in pin. This should be private.

There’s also a number of similar suggestions asking for alternatives to enter the pin (e.g. using a mobile Plex app)

> 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.
