ljjones Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 OLED65B8 webOS browser won't accept password for Amazon.com account. Winows Chrome on desktop or Android phone both sign in normally. I have several other account sign-ins that do the same thing -- work on desktop but not on TV. What's going on? Quote
hmmaros Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I have exactly the same problem on a 49UM71007LB. Is it a Bug? Quote

If it's a bug, it's only in the latest software update on some LG models. I have a OLED55B6 that doesn't exhibit the problem. Only the B8 model seems to corrupt the password. Both models have the latest software . The latest softwares are different version numbers for each model, though. What version is in your 49UM71007LB ? Quote
hmmaros Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 04.71.30 So I have to wait the next update and maybe it will be solved... Is there a workaround? Quote
RuskinF Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 It seems that the OS burned into the ROM of the TV has these bugs. As you stated there is no option but to wait until the bug is patched. in the meantime, have you tried connecting a keyboard to the TV and entering the Account and password from there? Quote

I found that, on my B8, if I re-register my Amazon account as a new user, using the same username and password as my existing account, it will sign me in with all my account data intact -- but only for one session. When i return, it rejects my password again. 1 Quote

I tried it with the keyboard. Same result. Quote
