If Apple password manager is anywhere as well thought out as their 2FA for Apple TV then I don't want to come next to it within 10 light years. Every time it asked me to either "confirm on your iPad" (I have 3 of those around the house) or "confirm on your iPhone" (I have 0 of those) I was ready to hurl shit. SMS option buried in some dark pattern, of course. If these companies want to encroach in the secrets management space they really need to hire more qa and test more than a single happy path. The number of failure modes in these systems is astonishing for the billions of dollars these companies can throw at the problem.

I suggest you move to Ross 248, which is a mere 10.3 light-years away. However, 32000 years from now it will be the closest star to our sun at 3.024 light-years so keep that in mind!

I think there’s a setting for that in setup. Is your problem that Apple thinks you have a iPhone or that you have to interact with the tv on a second device? As with all things apple when you buy in you get the best experience. That feature on AppleTV works really well with an Apple Watch.

  Which really sucks and puts you off from getting more Apple devices if you're a person who slowly buys into the ecosystem rather than go all-in without testing things. Personally, I was a fan of Apple laptops between something like 2010 - 2015, but after that I just couldn't deal with it anymore, as I had a Android phone and nothing else Apple. Fast forward to 2019, Apple finally releases a phone that fits in my tiny hands, so I get a iPhone 12 Mini, thinking that the CarPlay experience will be loads better than Android Auto on a measly Moto G. But holy smokes if I wasn't wrong, CarPlay is a UX disaster and I can't wait for the iPhone to break somehow or get too slow because of OS upgrades, so I can justify buying a new phone again. Just the simple fact that a phone calls covers the entire screen (which I use for GPS) seems like such a simple use case that they somehow missed, that I just wanna bin the entire system and I'll never buy Apple hardware for daily use again. I still have to use Apple laptops for software I release, but every time, I'm reminded how great the UX used to be, but how far they have fallen. Really sad to see. Windows is no better either, each version gets worse and worse...
