Hey, Kash, this is a Roku problem not a Max problem. Everyone on this forum has said they have no problem logging in under any other platform. So don't try and pass it off onto someone else. Roku needs to fix it.

As a workaround -- have any of you just updated your MAX password to 10 characters?

A workaround that worked for me: Select provider and that will give you a QR code and a number, then goto max.com/signin (not the /provider, I had to use inprivate / incognito because it kept going back to the provider list) and sign in like normal.

This will let you sign in on the phone with the short password and activate the TV from the code that was supposed to be for the provider login.

The problem is not with MAX. It works on my Roku Ultra, Premier and TCL rokuTv - but I am having this password issue with a Sharp Roku TV.

[TetonTech]

Does the TV give you the same option to log in with a provider instead of using a password?

TetonTech's workaround worked for me. Awesome, thanks!

login on Non-Roku device like computer and reset the password to 10 characters.

Hi all,

Channel partners develop and maintain their own channels and their customer credentials. We have no control over partner customer credentials. It's possible that Max has made a new password requirement and it isn't being properly messaged on their Roku channel.

We have escalated this with our friends at Max. In the meantime while waiting for the channel partner to update their channel, please use the QR workaround above, or change your password so you'll be able to get access asap. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate this issue being brought to our attention! 

Thanks for understanding!

Austin

Hi RokuAustin,

I just wanted to share that I am a new Roku member and having the same issue! Love the device/services besides not being able to log in. And I do not necessarily want to change the password

Hi there, and welcome! We've alerted the channel engineering team over at Max that their app is experiencing this issue. Hopefully, this is solved soon on their end. In the meantime, @TetonTech above posted a workaround. You can also use the screen mirroring function from the Max mobile app. Or, you'd want to change the password to get access. Max is a new channel and we're sure they'll get the kinks ironed out soon. 

Thanks,

Austin
