Synacor has a simple mission: “Unsucking” TV Everywhere. And it’s that tongue-and-cheek attitude that actually reveals a truth about authentication efforts so far—namely, that they can be clunky, confusing and ultimately a bad consumer experience.

It’s everything that TVE should be: fast, easy and imminently accessible. It’s about time.
