Apple Adds Single Sign-On, YouTube Searches on Apple TV Apple announced several updates to its Apple TV service, including a new feature called "single sign-on" that lets users log in with their credentials just once to access apps from programmers. With single sign-on, when users sign into one network app on Apple TV they're automatically logged in to all of the other apps that require authentication through their pay-TV subscriptions. During the single sign-on process, customers can also see all of the authenticated apps that their pay-TV provider supports in order to find and download the video content they want faster. Single sign-on will be available on both Apple TV and iOS this fall. Pay TV providers, such as Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK), have been working for years to make the authentication process easier for their subscribers, but in addition to single sign-on, Apple also has Siri. Apple also announced expanded Siri capabilities on its tvOS, including searches across more apps,YouTube searches, searches by topics and "live tune-in" for faster switching between live streaming channels. The YouTube Inc. searches by Siri will be available later this month.
"Hey Siri!"
