There’s an existing suggestion to support such an option on a PlayStation

> When logging in with PIN for the first time on PS4 (or similar console without a keyboard), allow the user to setup a button combination PIN on the controller that can be entered instead of PIN so that others in the room can’t see you selecting each digit on the screen. I can’t count how many times I’ve had to make roommates look away from the screen every time I enter my PIN, it’s gotten to the point that they refuse to look away.

There’s been a number of related suggestions over time, asking for better options to enter a PIN more secretly, e.g. using a [mobile Plex app](https://forums.plex.tv/t/enter-pin-on-streaming-devices-using-mobile-plex-app/276486) or the [number buttons on a remote](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hide-pin-entry-so-not-everybody-in-the-room-can-see-it/318833)…
