How does Easy Sign-In work?
Users navigate to the login screen on their TV app and select "Sign in using another device"
The TV displays a unique code and URL:
uscreen_site.com/connect
Upon reaching
uscreen_site.com/connect, the user is prompted to enter their email and password.
After entering their credentials on the mobile device or computer, they input the code displayed on their TV.
The TV app automatically refreshes and signs them into their account
The code is case-insensitive, allowing entry in lowercase or the format shown on the screen.
Tracking in Activity Log
When a user successfully validates a connect code, this action is recorded in their Activity Log as "Connect Code Validated". This event helps you:
Verify when users access your content through TV devices
Track user engagement across different platforms
Troubleshoot login issues if users report problems accessing TV apps
