Apple Launches Single Sign-On for iOS and tvOS

Apple has officially launched its new Single sign-on feature for iOS and tvOS.

Single sign-on lets you sign in to your cable or satellite-TV provider on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV then use supported video apps that your pay TV subscription includes without needing to sign in again.

Currently, Single sign-on is only available in the United States. Below is a list of providers that support the feature.


● CenturyLink Prism
● DirecTV
● Dish
● GVTC
● GTA
● Hawaiian Telcom
● Hotwire
● MetroCast
● Sling
