Netflix unveils Manage Access and Devices
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could kick out freeloaders like your ex without having to change your Netflix password or log out of all signed-in devices at once? With a feature called Manage Access and Devices, you can do precisely that.
Introduced on November 15, 2022, it limits account sharing by letting you selectively sign out of any unfamiliar devices or those you no longer want signed in. Doing so will prevent unauthorized access and increase the security of your account.
Available in your account settings, the Manage Access and Devices section lists recent Netflix devices that have streamed from your account. For each logged-in device, it shows information like device type, last-watched date and time as well as the city and IP address where the content was streamed from. This section even shows you the most recent Netflix profile used to stream on the device.
Maybe you logged in to Netflix while at a hotel or at your friend’s house but forgot to sign out. With the new feature, you can remotely sign out of individual devices.
According to the Netflix blog, the new Manage Access and Devices section is available to all Netflix subscribers around the world on the web, iOS and Android. Follow along with us as we walk you through the process of kicking Netflix devices off your account.
