webOS browser won't accept password for Amazon.com account

OLED65B8 webOS browser won't accept password for Amazon.com account.  Winows Chrome on desktop or Android phone both sign in normally.

I have several other account sign-ins that do the same thing -- work on desktop but not on TV.  What's going on?

I have another LG TV, OLED55B6, that signs in to my Amazon account (and other accounts) just fine.  Why is the problem only with the OLED65B8 ?    Both TVs are set up the same on the same network.

Are they both running the same firmware?

Hi  George.

Well, no.  They both have the latest software available.  That's ver 04.31.20 for the B6 and ver 05.10.50 for the B8.

One interesting symptom on the B8:  If I sign out of my account and then tell Amazon I'm a new user and create an account with identical credentials (same username/password), it signs me in normally with all my account data intact -- but only for that one session.  When I come back later, it rejects my login again.

Could this be a bug in the ver 05.10.50 web browser?

I can honestly say that I will never buy another LG TV as long as I draw breath - I have never encountered a company so disinterested in helping customers.

I purchased a 49SM8600PLA in October 19. First thing noticed was that the MHEG Channels do not work ... I thought this was no big deal as don't watch
watch them.

However, the latest software update has now borked the Amazon registration so you can't control the TV with an Echo Dot or whatever.

It's curious however, that you can login to the Amazon website via the standard browser but NOT via the page generated from the " Link to Other Devices for
Voice Contol..."

I would take it up with LG ... but after their response from the first problem... it's not worth wasting my breath. 

Buyer Beware !!

Another user over on the smart TV discussion forum reports the exact  same problem on a 49UM71007LB.  What about this LG ?

Please describe how this helps again.  i'm not familiar with the Alexa skills.  Are you saying that while you are signed in to your Amazon.com account on the Alexa , you can then sign in to the same account from the C9 TV ?

Does it "stick"?  That is, after you sign in that way once, can you sign out on both devices and then sign in again on the C9 without help from the Alexa?

I realize the question, posed in this arena, is rhetorical.  But LG customer service was less than useless regarding their own "browser".

As long as you realize it is a User-to-User forum, needs to be pointed out as a lot of members do not.  Perhaps we need a rhetorical tag.

      When will WebOS latest (2020) version be released for Old Smart TVs like 43LF6300?
      By PVN Satyanarayana
      Hi, I purchased my SMART TV model 43LF6300 in the year 2016 and current Firmware Version 04.06.40. Every one India using their favorite app like Disney Hotstar+, Zee5, Aaha and many more apps but those are not available on my TV which is annoying.. I spent Rs. 54000 to buy LG Smart TV but all the latest apps are not available. Please release the latest Web OS for these models at least Beta version unless the TVs like this will be useless and no one trust LG products. Thanks in advance and hope to receive latest Web OS soon.

      WebOS TV "satellite LNB short" error
      By leader6234
      Hey guys !!!
      I have a UHD UJ634v  LG webos Tv  that lately an error message pops on the screen staying : Tv signal has been lost due to the satellite LNB short.Check LNB connection"
      This is really getting on my nerves because I can't get any signal even after resetting the TV or even updating to the last  software version.
      I check my cable line and fixed every possible problem. The error message keeps showing up even after disconnecting cable line from the back of TV just as if a short circuit or something has happened inside the Tv.
      Do you think that'd be software or hardware failure or something else??? How to fix it?
      Please help me out with this cuz all my lovely satellite TV channels are gone 😐
      Here is the actual error message on the right top o the screen 
      Thanks in advance !!!

      HotStar App for LG WebOS TV
      By invinci
      Hello Everyone,
       
      I have 2014 LG 47LB750T tv and I am happy with the TVs performance. It has just updated to newer 05.05.25 firmware. New apps are getting added in the store.
       
      I have been following HotStar app in my phone from quite a long time. It has a very good list of shows and movies list. I was wondering if we can have HotStar app for our WebOS tv as well. Recently DittoTV app has too been added which is a boon for those who have frequent DTH cable connection problem. It directly streams live over the Internet and package is very economical.
       
      If LG Developers can also introduce HotStar app for our LG TV it will be a big boost to the platform as it is very popular in India. They also have their own Original series just like Netflix which are also very good. So requesting devs to kindly introduce HotStar app for our WebOS TVs. Thank You.
