Easier way to input password on Sky Stream?

[fishdry]

Hi

Trying to setup Sky Store for the first time and so far I've had to input my email and password twice and each time it's given me a "Please do this on skystore.com" message and kicked me back to the signin page.

I'm getting a bit quicker at entering the password but it's quite long and I'm looking for an easier way to type it in before I discover some more "Please do this" messages.

@fishdry you need to set up a Sky Store account linked to a credit card on the Sky Store website as explained here https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-store-sky-glass You then link your Stream to that account once which is a pain but once done you should not have to do that again.

On Glass any Sky Store rentals or purchases cannot be charged to your TV account hence the need for a linked credit card.

@fishdry   To actually answer your question, there is no other method of inputting passwords into stream/glass apart from using the remote control.

Although several of the on-board apps will use a login from a different device and link with a code, PIN or QR.

but typing in a password can only be done via remote.

Is it possible to ask sky to add this to their development list. 

The text input method is by far the worst I have experienced on any device.
