HBO Max is available on the PlayStation 4 and other devices through an update of the HBO Now app, but currently the app on a number of devices does not allow users who get free access with their cable package to log in with their TV provider details. However, users can login to the service using the TV sign in page.
In order to do this, users will need to access the HBO Max website on their desktop browser. Specifically, PS4 users will first have to access https://hbomax.com/tvsignin, which is the TV provider log in page for HBO Max.
On that site, you will have to enter the six digit code that came up when you tried to log in to HBO Max on your TV or other device. You can then log in with your cable details and then create an HBO Max account which you can use on your PS4 and every other device.
Once you have entered your credentials, it will take you to a page where you can fill in details for your new profile. Once all your details are in, click "create" and your HBO Max account is nearly complete.
Once you have logged into HBO Max, click on "Account" and then select "Add password." Once that password is set, you can use these new login credentials to access the streamer on your device.
As for users who previously had HBO Now, all you have to do to access Max is log in to the new streamer using your previous login details for Now, which should have been migrated to the new service.
