Newsmax Plus login not sticky? Possible Fix
A possible Solution for Newsmax plus login not being sticky is being
tested and working so far for me. In options to login will be shown
selections to login using your email for usual Roku login or to use
a different email. So select the option to *use a different email*
but then enter the email used for your Newsmax plus subscription
and fill in the password associated with your Newsmax plus subscription.
So far for the brief time of testing I have done this makes the login
sticky. It is not prompting for login after closing the app and/or
returning to the Home menu thumbnails and using another app
like Amazon Prime, not prompting for another login. If it does
prompt for another login I am hopeful it will return to the option
to login using the default email login for Roku, but again choose
the use a different email to get the saved password for the
alternate email. In my case it is the same email as for Roku.
but of course the Newsmax plus app password is different.
I am hopeful this is the fix for the non-sticky password issue.
Solution is confirmed as fix for the login not sticky issue for Newsmax Plus app
The issue with the timeout or login not being sticky has a solution.
On the login options you are offered to use your email for Roku
login or to use a different email, so the solution is to select to
use a different email (even if it is the same as your email for Roku)
and enter or reenter the email associated with your Newsmax Plus
subscription and then enter the password for the Newsmax Plus.
The credentials for Newsmax plus will remain sticky if entered
into the app by this path. Entering the password in different
places will allow the Newsmax plus app to open but the login
will only stay in effect so long as you are using the app and
the login is not sticky when entered in different places like
Accounts. Other paths for a login are not sticky and the
login will automatically logout or timeout if you switch to
a different channel and try to come back to Newsmax Plus.
But if you use this specific path to enter your credentials for
Newsmax Plus subscription associated email and password
then app will remember your login and not prompt you
every time you leave the app and return to it again.
This is a confirmed SOLUTION for the login not sticky issue.
This solution was found by a process of elimination meaning
I tried everything else following customer support instructions
from Newsmax tech support that did not include this detail
about the needed path to enter email and password credentials
so that the app login will be sticky and not prompt the user
for a new login every time the app is closed and reopened.
The login credentials are path sensitive. So other paths to login
allow login for one session only but are not saved for a new session.
Hi, Rovert431
We saw your post.
Seeing that you're having issues with Newsmax login, we recommend reaching out to them directly and letting them know about the occurrence of this issue. Most channels on Roku are managed by the channel provider, and any errors, bugs, and glitches can be addressed by a workaround and an update of the channel on their end.
We hope this will be sorted out soon.
All the best,
Kash
