Netflix may soon be removing free password sharing, but until then, passwords will continue to flow freely. If you're generous with your Netflix account, no doubt you've found yourself riddled with scammers. Maybe you lent your password to a friend to catch up on Stranger Things, or you're still logged into an ex's TV and notice a lot of content you missed. Either way, there's now an easy way to get someone out of your Netflix account. In the past, the only way to deal with Netflix thieves was the nuclear option: logging out of all devices.
Sure, this feature removes unwanted users from the account, but it also removes you from the account on all devices you're signed in to. Netflix's price of justice is accessing Netflix again on your TV, iPad, smartphone, and everywhere you look. All in all, it wasn't fun. Netflix now allows users to remove certain devices from their account, making this process much easier. Now you can be sure that no unauthorized users are streaming your $20 per month subscription, without logging out of your devices. Of course, Netflix's timing is suspect. I'm not likely to add this option to make your life easier, but rather to put an end to free password sharing. After all, it'll start charging you for any users you stream away from home, so there better be a button to prevent them from being added to your monthly bill.
How to selectively remove users from your Netflix account
When you notice a suspicious stream on your account, log into Netflix from a browser, choose your profile, then click your icon in the upper right corner and choose "Account." Alternatively, access this link to view this settings page directly. From here, click on "Manage access and devices". This page will show you all Netflix sessions active on your account. Each session will include the user, device, relative location, date and time stamp, so you can identify which sessions are okay and which aren't. If you see a session you want to start, click "Log Out". After a moment, Netflix will remove that device's access to your account.
As long as the person doesn't know your Netflix account, you're good to go. However, if they know, they can of course log back in. If you want to block them for sure, change your password from this link. And if you still want to go nuclear, you'll find "Sign Out of All Devices" under "Manage Access &; Devices" on the main account settings page.
