That HBO Now login Andy Samberg gave away at the Emmys actually worked
At the Emmy Awards, host Andy Samberg poked fun at the rampant sharing of HBO passwords by offering viewers the chance to use his login for the $15/month service HBO Now. It seemed like a simple, clever gag about a common TV trend among family and friends.
But here's the twist: Sandberg's login — "Khaleesifan3@emmyhost.com," with the password "password1" — actually works. As word has spread, access has become increasingly spotty, but you can give it a chance for yourself here.
For now, the staff at HBO Now seems to be taking the gag in stride, though they did tweet that they'll "be here all night. Apparently."
