In this era of binge-watching TV shows, it’s quite normal to share a Netflix account between two or more people. You can then create separate profiles to organize your list of favorite shows.

How to keep your Netflix account safe
We all share our streaming platform passwords with friends and family. While most of our close friends are trusted, your password can be compromised and fall into the wrong hands. Here are some steps to make sure your Netflix account stays safe.
- Change your password regularly. This will ensure that even if your password is exposed, you will still have new passwords regularly.
- Use a strong password. If you can’t remember it, use a good password manager.
- Regularly check the list of logged in devices. Get rid of the ones you don’t recognize.
