How to manage passwords on Samsung Smart TV

I am in the process of implementing 1Password on two MACBook Pros, two iPhones and possibly an Android tablet. I have a Samsung with SmartTV and use it to connect to Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. Entering account and password in the TV is very difficult. I would prefer to use hard, generated passwords for these account and others that I might use in the future (e.g. Hulu+). Has anyone found a way to do this?

There are apps for both the MAC and for iOS that can control the TV. Can 1Password work through these when generating a password?

    Hi @dcorner,

    1Password can help generate new passwords that you can use for the accounts you access from your TV, but it won't be able to integrate with your TV to help you fill those passwords.

    I'm not familiar with the Mac or iOS apps that control the TV. Can those apps be used to log into apps/websites on the TV? If so, it sounds like you should be able to copy & paste your data from 1Password into the Mac or iOS app for your TV so you don't need to manually type it yourself.

    For help to change a login password using 1Password's strong password generator, please see the user guide here: Changing a saved password

    Hopefully this helps, but please let us know if you need anything else. :)
