Anyone with access to your Netflix account has the ability to update your settings, kick you off while they are watching, or even worse: mess up your recommendation algorithm.

But, if you forget to sign out of your account on someone else’s device, Netflix gives its users the option to log out of all devices and accounts – no matter what device you’re on – in just a few simple steps.
