      Take the TV throw it out of the window.

      Buy a minipc and plugin a cheap Monitor via hdmi.

      Setup kodi or similar on your minipc and you won’t even have ads anymore because you will of course install pihole too.

      If it’s a fairly inconsequential service (no payment/personal info, nothing lost if it gets hacked), you can just generate a far shorter password. Even randomly generated passwords can be remembered eventually if you have to type it enough times, and that’s still better than the same one.

      If it’s not inconsequential, I’d be questioning if my money is well spent on a sadistic service that makes my life hell trying to have a minimum level of security. I would say that even if it wasn’t a generated password that you have to type over.
