On Tuesday, (December 6, 2016), Apple launched a new single authentication tool that allows iOS and Apple TV users to enter their account credentials just once and gain immediate access to the apps from their programming provider. Previously, cable-specific apps such as HBO Go and Time Warner Cable asked users to enter their cable provider when they used an app for the first time.
For now, the new feature is currently available only in the US, and can be used on CenturyLink
Prism, DirecTV, Dish, GVTC, GTA, Hawaiian Telecom, Hotwire, MetroCast and Sling, according to an Apple support document.
Apple first revealed the single sign-on feature in June and made it available in November to those with access to the tvOS 10.1 and 10.2 betas. It wasn't immediately clear when the feature might be available internationally.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Information on how to set up the feature is available on the support document.
