    You don’t need to make it that long.

    And also most TVs or whatever you’re streaming with has a way to type from your phone nowadays. Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, heck I think even Xbox.

    It’s kinda nice on Apple TV your phone will suggest autofill passwords for the TV, even from theirs party password managers like Bitwarden.

      Android tv’s arent that old. 10 years max. 5 years since it’s affordable for most people. Is it unreasonable to own a 5 year old non-smart tv? I think not. I think it’s weird that so many people assume everyone owns a smart tv.

        In what scenario would you need to type in a password on a non-smart TV though? Parental lock?

        You’re not wrong but in what context would you be putting in passwords on a non-smart device

        Also it’s not just smart TVs. You can hook up streaming sticks and boxes and game consoles to anything with an HDMI port
