I have the Apple TV app on one TV and the Apple TV device on another. I travel a lot and for whatever reason they get logged out and the only way for my family to login is for me to provide my Apple credentials which means access to everything. How can I separate these credentials so logging into the TV doesn’t mean sharing my iCloud credentials?
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Consider a more optimal situation where the account of one of the family members is the primary account on Apple TV, and your account is secondary (for day-to-day usage). Then they can manage their own stuff when you are away, and they can log in and out as they see fit without bothering you. And when you’re using it, you can easily switch accounts.
You’ll need more than one account to make a separation.
Through Family Sharing, you can share certain subscriptions, and optionally purchases, within a small group of users with different accounts.
Support for Apple Family Sharing from third party content providers is a mixed bag. Some do, some don’t. It depends on the service and where you started the subscription.
How can I separate my Apple and Apple TV credentials?
