One-Time Access on Apple TV 4 (Image: MacRumors)
All the latest betas of iOS 10.2 and tvOS 10.1 arrived earlier this week, but among their novelties was not the Single Sing-On o Single Access from Apple, a system that will allow us to access various payment services by entering our identifier in the settings of the Apple TV 4 or an iOS device. It was not at the time of the launch of the latest betas, but those of Cupertino have it remotely activated and the feature is already showing up in those versions for some users.
Before you go crazy trying to find the option, I would like to make two things clear: the first is that at the moment it is only available for 4 cable television services: Dish, GVTC Communications, Hotwire and Sling TV. The second is that this option will most likely arrive with the release of iOS 10.2 and tvOS 10.1, but to the United States. It is expected that residents outside the North American country where Apple has its headquarters will have to wait months or even a year to use this function.

Just like We can read In MacRumors, in the fourth generation Apple TV we can see the option in Settings / Accounts, where a new option for cable TV services will appear next to "Home Sharing." On an iPad, the same option will appear on the main settings screen, below the social network applications (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Vimeo).

Single Sing-On or Apple's Single Access will work similar to how Twitter does on iOS: If we add an account, we can use any compatible application without having to add our username and password in each one of them. Are you subscribed to a cable TV service and hope to be able to use this option on your Apple TV or iOS device?
