    Change your password to something completely random, just a series of letters and numbers. Just make sure to write it down so you don't forget it!

  • Question
    Why am I being charged for multiple devices with Netflix when I only have one device I use?
    Lizzie
    Community Answer
    Different Netflix account types have a set amount of devices that can be used; this just comes with the tier that you choose. It might be recommended to switch to the Basic Streaming Plan (if you intend to only download titles to a singular device).
