Think about connecting your devices through a central router or hub. You could set up the VPN on one of your Rasberry Pis and link it to the Pi or FireStick, allowing everyone to access streaming services together.

Unclear why you chose this path. Consider creating a shared account across your streaming platforms so she can access them together. Even the entry-level plans support multiple simultaneous streams. For local content, Plex would be a better option.

Usually you just provide a password. That’s the usual method on Amazon, Hulu and Netflix.

If we use the shared password method, it would be nice, but I’m not sure if they’re monitoring traffic from two different IPs. That could set off some protections they have in place. If Hulu doesn’t handle it, I’ll give it another shot.

It's possible to pass the password to others. YouTube TV lets you stream up to three things at once, but YouTube Premium restricts it mainly to music unless it's categorized differently. I don’t see any other restrictions beyond that, so it’s likely higher than three streams.
