HBO Max shows a specific message when sign-in fails on your TV. Find the message you see below for its cause and the fix.
Your password may be wrong. Choose Get One-Time Code and enter the 6-digit code HBO Max emails you. If you used a mobile number, make sure it’s correct and already added to your account.
HBO Max didn’t find an account with that email. Choose Edit Email Address to try another one, or choose Connect Your Provider if you get HBO Max through a provider.
If you subscribed through an app store or HBOMax.com, check that your subscription is active. If you subscribed through a provider, sign in to the provider’s website and confirm HBO Max is in your package.
Choose Connect Your Provider, scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit code at hbomax.com/tvsignin, choose your provider, and sign in with your provider account.
Your account doesn’t have an active subscription. Renew it, then sign in again.
Set the correct date and time on your TV device in its system settings, then try again.
Choose Restart to try again or Audio Challenge to verify another way. If it still fails, sign in on a different device.

If that didn’t work

Contact HBO Max through the official HBO Max Help Center and include the exact error text.
