How Do I Sign Out of Cable on my Fire Stick

Logging into an app with your cable provider account activates the single sign-on feature across all supported apps on your Fire TV Stick. Similarly, logging out of one of these supported apps also removes the single sign-on login. Here’s an example of how to log out of your provider’s single sign-on. We’ll use the History Channel app though you should be able to use any app part of your pay-TV or cable plan. Open the History Channel app on your Fire TV Stick. Select Settings. Select Sign Out of Your TV Provider. Select Sign Out to confirm. This action should now have logged you out of all of the apps which use your provider’s single sign-on login.

How Do You Use Single Sign-On Fire Sticks

The single sign-on feature is essentially just a way for users to log into several apps at once without entering various usernames and passwords in every single app manually. Single sign-on is used to help customers log into all of the supported services offered by a cable TV provider. The feature only works with apps and services included with the plan you’re using from your pay-TV provider. So, for example, your cable plan may give you access to MTV and Hallmark Channel, but you’ll likely still need to log into the YouTube and Spotify apps with their respective accounts. You shouldn’t need to purchase a new Fire Stick to use your provider’s single sign-on functionality. All you need to do is log into an app that's part of your current plan with your provider’s information.

What Fire Stick Apps Are Included in Single Sign-On

There are many apps on Amazon Fire TV Sticks supporting the single sign-on feature, but whether you can use them or not depends greatly on if they’re part of your pay-TV plan. For example, some AT&T cable plans include the History Channel, but this doesn’t mean those on another plan with different providers can sign into the History Channel app with their accounts. The list of apps and services supporting the single sign-on functionality should be visible on your provider’s website and app. Many providers also show you all of the apps you can download and use on your Fire Stick as part of your plan as soon as you log into the first one.

Do I Have to Use Single Sign-On With My Fire TV Stick

The single sign-on feature is automatically activated whenever you log into an app with your provider’s information. As a result, you don’t need to use the apps or services your cable plan offers you, and you can even sign in with your account in most apps if you want. Something to consider is that the cable plan you’re paying for is likely giving you access to several cable channels and streaming services, whether you like it or not. So you may as well use them or at least give them a try.
