Many streaming services allow you to identify the last devices connected to your account and, if necessary, remove access to them.
Sharing your Netflix password with those around you is almost over. Last year, the video streaming giant announced the end of this popular feature by explaining that it wanted to charge an additional cost to add people outside the home on an account. While Netflix has temporarily postponed the deployment of this rule, many platforms, whether Disney +, Amazon Prime or even Spotifyalso continue to make it possible to donate access to relatives.
However, whether it’s a former roommate, your sister or a friend, it’s easy to forget who has your login credentials. If you don’t want someone to access your profile without your permission, you have the option to access the list of the last devices that have connected to your account and disconnect them remotely if you wish. . Once the operation has been carried out, the data subject is required to enter a password in order to have access to the service again. Here’s how to do it from an internet browser, but the same option is accessible from mobile apps.
