How To Add A Profile Lock On Netflix

Do you want to prevent other people in your household from using one of your profiles on Netflix? Do you want to lock your main profile to restrict children or other users in your house from accessing and using it? If so, you can add a 4-digit pin to your profile. Check our quick guide below, and we’ll show you how.

On Netflix, an account can have up to five unique profiles for different viewing experiences. This feature can help family members inside a household share an account without affecting each other’s viewing preferences on the app.

To make sure that no one else can use your main account on Netflix, you can add a 4-digit pin to protect it. When someone tries to open your profile, they’ll need to enter the code to access and use it on the app.

Here’s our guide about adding a pin to your Netflix profile.
