Why does the Boxee Box require a login?

Boxee is meant to be social - not just with friends online, but also with people in your household. With this in mind we designed the Boxee Box with multiple user accounts so your friend network, favorite TV shows, and favorite apps would all be accessible only to you. If you want Boxee Box to log in to your account automatically when it starts, make sure there are no other user accounts and select "remember password" from the login screen.
