Issues with ECP Install command, requires additional "Confirm Channel Add" Prompt

Since this week, any time I do automation using the ECP to install a channel, it requires an additional pin to be entered (not my acccount pin), and it completely messes up the automation flow.

There is no documentation about this field, when was this requirement introduced, and what can I do to reclaim my workflow?Example screen

Re: Issues with ECP Install command, requires additional "Confirm Channel Add" Prompt

If I had to guess I'd say that rogue apps were exploiting this method of installing channels and Roku added the PIN to try to stop them.  There's probably nothing you can do and Roku not documenting changes is par for the course.

@rnmoss1 What is the ECP command you used to install the channel?
