Easy Pin options not shown - Kurtz30 - 2024-05-14

I must be missing something but for all my users I don't see the options for Easy Pin.

Users have passwords set and I've set local LAN Networks. But only option is for current, new and confirm new password fields.
   

Accessing the Admin pages through both Safari and Chrome but no difference.

Clients vary from LGTV app to iOS and through browser.
This has been the behaviour I've seen in previous version as well as current.

Is there a trick I'm missing to set this up?

Easy pins were removed in 10.9 due to security concerns. Quick connect is still an option.

Ah thanks I must have missed this change and it was still in the documentation. 

I'll mark as solved. Are there any best practices/alternatives for easy account access/profile switching for use on TVs (for example).

It really depends on who you share a TV with. My kid knows not to use my account or my wife's account so I just have no restrictions for switching profiles on my Android TVs.

I have not looked into more restrictive setups, but I believe you can still use either passwords or quick connecting (using another trusted device to enter a temp pin).
