Someone has been logging into our Netflix in loads of locations since November! Would that piss you off?

DH was trying to watch a movie on Netflix this morning (he's on lates) and couldn't get on there as too many people were already watching.

A bit of digging around and it emerged that loads of devices in various locations have been logging in to our Netflix since November. Our DC are 9 and 11, the 9 year old watches Netflix on an iPad but the other one doesn't. Pretty sure that they don't know the login details or that you can give you details to someone else.

Main culprit could be teenage stepson but he indignantly says he used to log into it on his phone ages ago, doesn't anymore since he got a new smaller phone and doesn't remember the password anyway. And one of the things the person/people is binge watching is Orange is the New Black, so prob not a teen boy choice?

It's bugging me, I want to go through it all putting the IP addresses into a IP locator website (I think they have those) but DH says we can't pinpoint exactly who is using it anyway.

I don't think DH has anything to do with the sharing of the details as he's freaking out a bit as it's his email address and password he uses on Amazon etc, he has been changing his passwords etc all morning. Obviously he's changed the Netflix password too. They can't watch Orange is the New Black now, haha!

It's just a minor thing really but it's really pissing me off! Has this happened to anyone else, and did you find out in the end?

Someone who is doing this would probably be using a VPN anyway.

Can you change the email associated with the account as well as the password that he has already changed?

I’d also reset your router.

I’d be really annoyed because you have to pay for multi devices to have access.

It would annoy me but I'd probably just change the password and forget about it.

Can you use a VPN on an iPhone though? There's about 6 different iPhones listed as logged in over the months. One will be DH's, and one will be DSS's old one, but I've never had Netflix on a phone (rarely watch it tbh) and DC don't have phones. That leaves 4 others unaccounted for. Think we pay around a tenner a month?

But yes, good point. Will also change email address.

Change the password. Next week, someone will phone you and ask why they can no longer access your account, and will claim that you gave them permission ages ago and told them it was okay.
