Security recommendations for signing in to Netflix
Netflix is a private service, usually used by users who know each other or several members of a family, but that is not why we should neglect the security of the login to the Netflix account. Avoiding account theft is something fundamental, it happens and a lot today. Follow these tips to protect your Netflix account:
- Change your password from time to time: A password that is more than 1 year old could be vulnerable. Read our guide to changing a Netflix password.
- Close open sessions on third-party devices: It’s normal to forget to sign out on a device that isn’t yours and the login stays active for weeks. Prevent the account from being used by other people and close active sessions before leaving, for this go to My Account.
- Remove the “Remember me” option when logging in: you will be forced to enter the email or phone number and password every time you want to log in, use this resource if it is a third-party device!
- Protect yourself, install an antivirus: install and update the antivirus or antimalware periodically, and scan your device for security issues.
- Take care of your access password: protect your password, do not share it or lend it temporarily, as they could enter your name, modify the password and steal your account while the payment is made on your behalf. Change your login password periodically.
- Update your payment method: this way you won’t keep your membership deactivated, remember that Netflix automatically charges every month.
These tips will help you stay in control of your account and enjoy the experience of series and movies without worries.
