Netflix question

[mynameiswah]

I've just signed up and thought I'd share my account with 1 other. But on closer inspection it seems that other people on your account (profiles) can see my account details and even change my password - is that true??! Seems a massive mistake for Netflix to not keep the primary user's details safe and protected?

Anyone have experience of this and is there a way to safely share without compromising my account?

Probably as you're not really meant to share. I do but only with husband and kids in same house.

You are right. You'd have to trust them I guess.

Surely the person you'd be sharing it with will be a friend (or family member) so youd trust them not to change your password?!

But netflix says I can add up to 5 profiles to my account? Perhaps I haven't got this sharing thing straight. I thought that meant I could share..

Just pay the extra £1/month to be able to safely share.

I'm sure that means just family members. My DC both have profiles.

WeKnowFrogs - where does it say to pay an extra £1 a month for privacy? I can't see it anywhere. I've signed up for £5.99 a month, first month premium as a promotion.

The profiles are for people in your household. It is so the algorithms can suggest suitable stuff for each person. Dps watchlist suggestions are wildly different to mine!

You will only have one screen though in the £5.99 plan.

They would send a reset link to your email, so unless the person also has access to your email account it’s not like they can do much?

£5.99 a month only gives you 1 screen so if your friend was watching something you wouldn’t be able to (after your 1 month of premium I guess).

I’ve always thought it was so different people in the same household could have profiles - eg so that my ‘continue watching’ and suggested programmes isn’t full of my kids crap!
