If you’ve shared your streaming password too many times, you can see who’s watching and log out any users or devices using this guide.

Sharing your password to your streaming service accounts is great when everyone gets along. However, if you share your password and have a falling out with someone, you might not want them to use it.

You might end up divorced, go through a breakup, or stop being friends. Whatever the reason for not wanting to share your subscription, it might be a good idea to log those users out.

In addition to logging out users, these options are good for monitoring services when you think someone cracked your account password and is watching without your permission. To log out users and devices from your streaming services, follow the steps below.

How to Log Out Devices and Users on Netflix

Netflix is probably the most popular video streaming service, and sharing passwords is commonplace. However, if you want to revoke access to someone, you can go into settings and log out of the device.

To manage access to your Netflix account:

1. Open a browser, go to the Netflix website, and sign into your account.
2. Select your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account from the menu.
3. Scroll to the Security and Privacy section and click the Manage access and devices link.
4. You will get a list of all signed in accounts and devices, including the time and date last watched.
5. Click the Sign Out button next to any devices you no longer want to be logged in.
6. If you don’t want to manage individual devices, go to Account > Security and Privacy and click the Sign out of all devices link.
