    In this instance, what is “authentication data” and what could someone do with it?

    Plex says the stolen data includes email addresses, usernames, securely hashed passwords, and authentication data.

    "An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases," reads the Plex data breach notification.

      You need to relink your account. Go to plex.tv/link Your firestick Plex app should present you with a 4 digit code.
