U-Verse app stopped working on my 4K Fire Stick

After I accepted ATT's new terms, I could not log into the U-Verse app via my 4K Fire Stick.  U-Verse is giving me an authentication error and instructing me to try back later.  (It is not a credentials problem, used erroneous User & PW to test).

I rebooted the Fire Stick, I removed and reinstalled U-Verse app but keep getting the authentication check back later message.

Same issue here, I am getting a care code 205.4. Posted a message on the forum. Tried what @ATTHelp said to do, but that didn't work for me.

Try using your att email, not your primary email.  You can find it under your profile.

We suggest that you:

I finally fixed it. Here is the fix that worked for me.

I use my personal email address (I've used for decades) when I sign up for any services; ATT included.  It is not an ATT.net email account. 

I singed up for ATT wireless phone and internet - U-Verse several years ago and always use my personal email to log in and conduct business/pay bills. 

Log in to your accounts and click your profile overview and once on the page scroll down to Internet/TV/Phone account.  Look at your Primary ID, mine is an ATT email address.  ATT required me to use an ATT email address at the time I signed up for their service.   I forgot all about this.  You can not change your Primary ID. 

I logged on to U-Verse using "my" ATT mail account as my user ID and existing password and U-Verse on the internet worked. No check back later message.

No further comments re ATT - U-Verse

@JoeCustomer 

Right, and there's support to link different email addresses that used to work, and it did for a while, but in the end just left it with the att.net one.  There’s yet another email domain that was also related to yahoo that complicated things even further.  Currently.com.

Hello @JoeCustomer do you have to use the att email to log in on your phone? I used the same email that I log into phone/att/etc.and this is the only one that wont open for me.
