@mhhf1ve You mean it's inconsistent?

No... A PIN isn't required for everything, but I'm not sure how Amazon FireTV figures out when to prompt for a PIN. Always for videos that you don't own. But not always for Amazon Prime videos that are free.

Re: Apple Sign ons
@mhhf1ve do you mean it requiers a PIN no matter what you do? Maybe it does that for its own data tracking to know how many times you view a particular video.

Re: Apple Sign ons
I, too, sorta like how Amazon requires a PIN for FireTV videos that aren't free with Prime, but even Amazon doesn't get it quite right because it requires a PIN for videos you already own and some free videos, too.

Re: Apple Sign ons
I really like that Amazon requires a different password to be entered when I purchase something new from them - and I wish other companies would follow suit. I'm easily logged into all of my apps on SmartTV and even my WiiU, but if I decide to buy a new season of Paw Patrol, I have a password that is completely different than my log in to do so. Which means my toddlers can't get passed the screen to complete the purchase and have to call for my help. As a parent, an extra step in purchasing anything, makes me happy. Now if only those tablets they put on your table at restaurants anymore would do the same thing.......

@mhhf1ve - SSO puts the onus on the user to be vigilant enough to know what's happening with your account at all times. Most people don't. I personally would rather be bothered up front typing in my password than be bothered with the aftermath of dozens of "accidental" purchases.

Re: Apple Sign ons
The devil is in the details, as always. Xbox One and the Amazon Fire Tv have a similar single-sign on feature, but there's always some balance between security and convenience with single-sign on. These devices could make everything open once you sign on -- but then parents might have to deal with kids buying apps/games/movies without explicit consent. Apple has a decent process for refunding "accidental" purchases -- after parents sued bc kids were too easily able to tap and buy apps or in-app items...

How does YouTube handle Siri searches?
Google/Youtube has its own voice search, so I'm curious how Siri fits with that.. or does it just run on top of Youtube somehow? I'd be surprised if Google allowed 3rd parties to run their own voice search UI on top of Youtube's.. but maybe Google cut a deal with Apple?
