Hello ChipDale,


You mentioned that this occurs when using certain streaming apps. Have you previously signed in with the credentials for these apps, but each time you use them it asks again? Some apps have settings that you can modify within the specific app. To see what other options may be available, go to Settings > Apps on Apple TV, then select the app.


"Some apps and content providers, such as Netflix and Paramount+, require that you sign in before using them. When you open the app to sign in or to set up an account, follow the onscreen instructions." Set up accounts for other apps and channels on Apple TV - Apple Support


Let us know if your issue is something different than what was covered, or if you have any additional questions. Take care!
