got this from another user  it worked for me:
This has worked for Max for several of us. If you are having problems with other. Hannels you may need to speak directly with Roku.  Wish you well.
 

I chose login with a QR code/Provider, which puts a QR code and a 6 digit code on the screen. If you scan the code, it asks you to choose your provider, which if you're like me and have an account with HBO directly, is useless.

HOWEVER, if you SKIP the QR code, go directly max.com/login on your computer and enter the 6 digit numerical code, you can then sign in on your browser and it should log you in to the Roku app.

The problem is the roku account. If roku had a way to clear the cache info for the channels for you remove them, then that would fix it. I unfortunately had to create a new ROKU account. With this new roku account i then installed hbo max and was able to log in a works fine now. For some reason hbo max did not work with my other roku account. Roku needs to clear cache on its channels once they are removed. That is the problem.

What worked for me: Changed MAX password. Removed special characters. Used a min of 10 characters (required by MAX). Password on Roku finally worked. (No need to unplug Roku. No need for system reset. No need to uninstall and reinstall MAX.)
