Not allowed to LOGIN PikTV app on iPhone 11 Pro Max

I signed up about a month ago for PikTV but have been unable to actually LOGIN using the PikTV app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I finally took the time to get through to Telus support. He was unable to tell me why its happening and told me try it on Safari which I was able to login to. However, the shows on the Safari PikTV will not play through the browser so he asked me for my login and password so he can try on his iPhone 11! I refused and shocked they are even allowed to ask. After that he said he can offer to rebuild my login credentials on his end, I told him that would not fix the app itself as I can't get to the login screen is the issue with the PikTV app. Rebuilding my credentials would not help to which he could not understand even though it appears to be logical to me. Anyways, this brings me here to ask the community for insight before I cancel a useless subscription that I'm paying for. Thanks
