I've noticed sometimes my ATV gets signed out of Netflix randomly and I have to re-signin (including entering my password, which is annoying on the ATV).

Is there anything I could be doing that causes this problem, or is it just something that randomly happens sometimes? I also let family use my ATV and Netflix account when I'm not, and don't want to provide my password, so this causes problems there too.

This was an issue on iOS for the iPhone and iPad recently. It was fixed with an update from Netflix. This could be a similar issue.

As for being tedious to enter your password using the silver remote, do you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad? You can download and install the Remote app for free. When you select a text field your device will give you a full keyboard.
