New Unified Login Page

The new login page offers three different login methods for users to accommodate their preferences:

• A QR code for your mobile device where users can validate their Core account by logging in via their mobile browser.

• A browser link where users can validate their account via a browser in their device of choice.

• A manual login option where users can enter username and password directly in the app.

• Logging in with MFA is supported for this option

  • SSO login is not supported for this option

For specific login instructions, see the Core Apple TV Guide.

MFA Setup Updates

If a new user manually logs in without first having set up their MFA, or if a returning user has recently requested a MFA reset, they can now re/connect their MFA application in the manual login workflow.

Additional support is forthcoming for QR and URL login options.

Improved Security for Shared Devices

During setup, users can now define whether or not the Apple TV they’re working from is a shared device.

• When not shared, users can opt to enter a PIN for expedited access.
• Shared devices will prompt the user to login via one of the three options.

Better Management and Visibility of Sites

For clients who have access to content in more than one Core site, multiple sites may be managed from the Apple TV. When logging in select the site, and proceed to login with your respective credentials.
