How to control Apple TV 4 with an iPhone?

My Apple TV 4th generation is asking me my password for the 10th time and it's making me CRAZY!!!!

This new Apple TV doesn't work with the Remote app???? What the heck Apple!!!

Is there a way to type text using something else than this stupid remote? A keyboard?

Onscreen keyboard is the only option for text entry on the ATV4. Only Apple knows if/when they plan to update the remote app but as this is a user forum no one can answer with any certainty...

Tip: If you set Require Password to Never in step 3, there won’t be an option to turn this setting on.
