Logging into apps with ATT credentials

@JKo 

You have to use your U-verse member ID, unlinked from all other accounts. Optionally use subaccount credentials.  All of this is managed in your profile on att.com.

Thanks for responding. I am using my user ID (which is my email address) when I sign in, but I only have one account (there are no other linked accounts). I don't know how using a subaccount credential would work, since it links automatically to the provider (I don't enter in the details).

We'd be happy to help you get signed in to the Starz and Showtime apps, JKo.

A common solution for the kind of error message you're getting is to reset the AT&T password. This refreshes the account and makes it easier to sign in to 3rd party apps. Give that a try and let us know if you were able to sign in.

We'll be awaiting your reply.

Thanks so much. I logged into my AT&T Uverse account with my login tokens and everything worked properly again. I don't understand why my authentication didn't work when I logged in with my wife's login tokens as they were accepted as a valid alternate login but since my AT&T Uverse subscription is recognized again by CNN and TCM, I not delving further into the issue. Thanks for responding to me question.

Been there….the Starz streaming app has been problematic in the past.  Somebody somewhere did something and all was well but apparently it’s happening again.  🤷‍♀️

I'm having the same problem , msnbc / cnbc / CNN..........add to that ATT can't reach an agreement with local FOX so no World Cup

and can only watch the Tour De France if I pay the Peacock

Thanks for posting. I've escalated it up and AT&T gurus are trying to figure it out. It's not a "you" issue, as others are experiencing it.

👆. This….  I tried to log onto the app and was also unable to do so.

That Starz app is buggy.  It’s been a problem before.  Somebody did something and it was OK but now it’s back to not working.  🤷‍♀️

Please look around the forums before you start a new thread. It's basic internet etiquette.
