FAQs
Q. What do I do when someone is using my Netflix account without my permission?
A. Sign out of all the devices connected to your account. This may take up to 8 hours to take effect. But if you know the person [or you suspect someone] quickly go and beg them to stop. Especially if you are on the Basic plan that doesn’t allow you to stream on more than one device at a time. After that, change your password. If you like, don’t use a strong password, someone will hack it again
Q. How many devices can stream Netflix at the same time?
A. This depends on the plan you’re subscribed to. If you’re subscribed to the Basic plan, you can stream on only one device at a time but you can connect multiple devices to your account. On the Standard plan, you can stream on two devices at a time, and with the Premium plan, you can stream on up to four devices at a time.
