After selecting Profile or Settings, select Change Account, then Sign Out.

From a mobile device or computer, go to PBS.org/activate and enter the code displayed on your TV. 

Click Continue. You will then be prompted to sign in with your Passport account.

Sign in with the account associated with your Passport. You will then receive a Success! screen indicating that your PBS app has been successfully activated. It can take up to 30 seconds for the screen to change on your TV.
