Roku, who has about 50% of the streaming device market in the US, supports entering passwords via their mobile apps.

Having to enter a password on a streaming device is rare event for me at least. Almost all of the apps on my Roku support using an off device web browser to authenticate.




How about during initial setup of the Roku itself? Can you use the mobile app to give the Roku your WiFi password?


I don't believe that was an option when I set mine up but that was a few years ago. Also there is a wide range of Roku devices and TVs with differing capabilities so even ig mine didn't it might be that some do support this. I honestly don't know.

Wow, really? That's surprising to me, do you have a link so I can see the rest of the stats?
