Netflix, you can see who is logging into your account: how to do it
Netflix, you can see who is logging into your account: how to do it. It can be very useful to know if someone without our knowledge is using the same profile
Since the device limit for viewing was introduced, as is also the case with Dazn, users logging in should only be those specified by the account holder.
The use of streaming platforms has changed a lot in the last period. Constant attempts to share your account with others, dividing the cost, have led business owners to devise new methods of control and access. There has clearly been an increase in cost given that now everyone can only access contingently and by indicating their own devices.
Belonging to this type of use, we think of brands such as Dazn or Netflix. Even the house of the world’s most important television series has adapted to what is a fixed pattern from other groups in the sector.
Precisely for this reason, in recent months it has become very important to control who and when accesses our account. A turn of the screw that we did not care about until recently and which can now make a difference.
The new feature called Manage Access and Devices allows us to see who is accessing our account.
Netflix, now we can be safer: the new specification to control our account
Netflix itself also explained another purpose of this technical introduction: “Signing into your account from a hotel or at a friend’s house is easy and intuitive, but sometimes you forget to sign out.”
Yes, because beyond fraudulent viewing attempts, there can also be an unconscious error of not being taken out of a device that you are not using. Keeping everything under control therefore becomes easier with the new variant.
The new feature is available from browsers and also apps, for iOS and Android devices. It can also be useful, for example, to find out if our password has been stolen or in any case discovered by someone who can use it for less than noble purposes.
In addition to more extensive parental control (children and their visions are under control), it is obviously also a tool against so-called “password scammers”.
To activate it, simply go to Account and choose the Manage access and devices option. You will access a page where the accounts that have logged in are listed, along with the time and location of these.
