Strong Passwords, iCloud Keychain and Apple tV

I just spent the better part of a day going through and changing all of my passwords to strong passwords and storing them in the Apple Keychain. What I DID NOT count on was that my Apple TV 4k (tvOS 18.0) apparently is not linked to the keychain therefore I end up having to go in and reenter my credentials.

Am I missing something? Any other way to enter strong passwords other than keeping my iPhone or iPad nearby so that I can use the keyboard to enter the passwords?

When using the iPhone on-screen keyboard in combination with the Apple TV box, it allows for accessing iCloud Keychain passwords in many apps when needed (if they have an option for default style text entry).

You would still need to re-enter the account credentials, but with just a few taps then.
