Re: STILL not able to sign into the new Newsmax with our Roku log in!

@Rileytmr1, If it truly says, "use your Roku account to sign in to Newsmax”, I'd say it's poorly worded.  You never need to enter your Roku account password on a Roku device.  It's already linked to your Roku account.  Entering your Roku account password would be redundant.  No provider has access to your Roku password.  It's a Roku requirement that apps that have a sign-in suggest using the email associated with the Roku account.  It's only a suggestion.  If you don't have a Newsmax account, there's no way you can sign into one.  If there's no way to create one on the Roku device in the Newsmax app (and it sounds like there isn't, but I don't use the app), you'll have to do it on the Newsmax website.  Once you have an email address and password established with Newsmax you should be able to sign in on the Roku app.  I suggest that if you're going to get a subscription, you don't go through Roku and get it directly with Newsmax+.  Several users have reported problems with subscriptions to Newmax+ paid through Roku.
