It's even worse with Apple TV, where you have to swipe between characters on a single row. They completely butchered UX on that one, it's infuriating.

If you have an iPhone, you can use the Apple TV remote on the phone which will show a text input you can type on (on any form text input). This has the added bonus of being able to access your keychain for automatic password filling

I have enabled the tv remote on control center - I’m not sure if it’s there by default. You should be able to toggle it in settings

I’ve found voice dictation surprisingly useful in these situations - you can instruct which case to use as well as using military alphabet.

I would not do that for a password
That’s why I use apple remote app where even copy paste works.
...which is only available on iOS (I don't have an iPhone). This is one of my other pet peeves with Apple products.
