Did you share your Netflix account with someone you no longer want to have access to? Well, now there is a new way to fix it: Netflix It has just released an option to manage the devices that have access to your account, and remove them directly from the owner’s account settings menu. Thus, like a Thanos snap, you can withdraw access to your Netflix account from whoever you no longer want to use it.
In fact, the tool allows you to do a little more than that. The new “Manage Access and Devices” option allows you to see which devices are connected to your account, yes, but also which profiles have seen content from those devices, and from where they have seen it. The new feature has already started rolling out to Netflix users on both desktop (web version) and Android and iOS.
To remove access to that device from your account, you simply have to press the “Log out” button on the device you want to remove access to, and that’s it, goodbye to the marathon of the last season of The Crown.
Of course, once you decide to remove a device from your account, Netflix suggests changing your password, and you will receive an email notification every time a new device logs in with your Netflix data.

Clearly this is one more step in Netflix’s plan to gradually encourage users to stop sharing their account, and giving them access to ways to stop when they no longer want to share the account with someone. Also, also is it possible to change your profile from a shared account to your own, if you want, so you don’t necessarily have to lose that valuable history of reproductions and series and movies accumulated in “My List”. Before kicking someone off your account, if possible, why not ask them if they want to go and take her profile? I say…[via[víaTechCrunch]
