Unable to login using Google account

Hello. I recently purchased a new Roku Express, and it’s not giving me the option to login to Plex via Google or any third party. It only gives me the option to login via my Roku account, or to create a Roku account and use that. I’ve done that, but that means I had to create a new Plex instance (on my Synology NAS) to use with that account.

Why are Google, etc not offered as third party login options anymore? This is very frustrating! Please turn that back on! It IS offered via browser login on my computer, but not on the Plex app on Roku!

2nd this. Plex on Roku used to allow to log in on PC and enter a 4 digit code. Now it requires you to sign in with an email and a password, but as my sign up was through Google I do not have a separate Plex password. Without this sign in I am unable to cast from my pc to my tv which was the whole reason I was using Plex

It is a Roku requirement for app certification. Link to their requirements in release notes Plex for Roku - #364 by ljunkie

You can add password to your Plex account at https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/account

I’ve got the same issue, added the password to my account (which I had as I have a server anyway) and I still haven’t been able to log in with my gmail account and with that password. I feel like I must be doing something wrong.
I get that this is Roku’s issue but is there some way that Plex can just mirror a Google account’s password so that I can login with either the Google API or the Google email without jumping through any hoops? My guess is the answer is no or else that would’ve been implemented but yea…this is a big bummer.
Should we take this to mean that Plex is not purusing this new BS certification that Roku has come up with? Or it us working on it and just doesn’t have it quite yet…in other words, will we get PINs back in the future?
