Apple TV apps and channels

Hi, I have fought this issue for a few weeks now so i decided to finally get some help. I subscribed to many channels through Apple TV and on my TV, I can click on a Paramount+ show and watch it right away. But when i open the Apple TV app on my iPad, click on the same episode of the same show, i am being redirected to the Paramount+ app and prompted to enter my credentials.

I never received any credentials when i subscribed so i tried my Apple ID and Password but it didn’t work.

My questions are:

1) Is it possible to watch movies and shows from the channels on devices other than the Apple TV hardware? (I.e: iPad, MacBook etc.)

2) Do i have a login/password when i subscribe to a channel via Apple TV?

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Follow the steps below to watch the other channels without having to download that channel app.

Open the Apple TV app.
Go to Watch Now.
Scroll down to My Channels.
Open the channel to stream content2 included with your channel subscription in the Apple TV app, without having to download the channel's app.

You can access your subscription on any device that's signed in to the Apple TV app with your Apple ID.
If you're part of a Family Sharing group, your family can stream content from a channel on up to 3 devices at the same time.2 Some channels might allow you to stream on more than 3 devices simultaneously. Learn more about limits for streaming on multiple devices.
In addition to watching your subscription in the Apple TV app, you might be able to sign in to a channel's website or app with the same Apple ID that you use in the Apple TV app to watch content.
