This is not correct. I've tried the LAN no-login settings and it does not work for many devices (Roku/smart tv/phones). They also fail if you're not on the same subnet as Plex. For this infuriating reason, moving off of Plex is on my to-do list.
Are there alternatives with smart tv apps?
I just learned that in 2021, Plex was acquired by Rockwell Automation. Had no idea that had happened. That seems like an odd company for them to acquire.
I'm a long time Plex user, and I have not received this email. Not sure if I should be worried or if the breach has just affected a subset of users. I use random unique passwords for everything anyway, as long as no credit card details were taken it shouldn't be a big deal hopefully. I was able to log into the site now and no message was displayed at all. Edit: Not sure why I would be getting down-voted for this. Sec…
OT but have others found the Plex Mobile UI completely baffling when it comes to understanding how to download, sync and then delete content that has been synced to that device? I get lost trying to do so every time.
I'm guessing it's because of load on their stuff, but it's quite a pain in the butt when I usually use Plex to listen to (my local, legally ripped) music while working.

It appears the password change works fine if you deselect the "Sign out connected devices" box. [1] [1] https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1562329358282285057
Mine worked fine with that checkbox on. However, I cannot get my home server to appear again, even after getting a new claim and restarting it.
I'm going to give it some time. I also even went through these steps (https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-o...) without success.
If true, then this will probably reignite discussions around Plex requiring that you authenticate with their servers when using the service to view content that you're hosting on your own hardware. If anyone is curious, then alternatives like Jellyfin exist. It's a bit different and may not have all the features you need, but it works quite well in my experience.
I've tried using Plex before and while the UI is nice, they don't seem to be able to write a video transcoder that doesn't have massive stuttering in it.

Perhaps the most important thing about Jellyfin is that it's open source. I really wish the project received a little bit more love.
