It is possible that, in the past, we allowed a family member or friend to have access to our Netflix or Primer Video account . It is something more common than you think, especially when we offer you the possibility of accessing the different contents of the platform, even in a timely manner.
In fact, it is usual that, after time, we simply do not remember it, so unless when we try to access to view some content, it is limited by the maximum number of devices allowed, it is quite likely that we will not let us realize it.
Although the easiest option to find out is precisely when, suddenly, we cannot access the platform because the maximum number of devices is exceeded, sometimes it may happen that someone outside is entering our account, especially in those moments when they are not we use it, and we never realize it. So in the end, we pay for a shared service while we think we are using it on our own.
Luckily, if you use Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or even the new Disney +, trying to find out if someone is making unauthorized use of our account is very simple. But you need to know how to find out.
Netflix
To try to find out, you need to log in to the browser version of this popular streaming platform. Then, once inside your account, it is necessary to click on the drop-down menu that is shown below the avatar of our account, and click on Account .
Next, we must click on the option Recent activity of streaming of the device . This new section will show all the devices that have recently accessed our account, and from which part of the world they have done so.
Do you detect any strange unauthorized access? If so, it’s actually very easy to prevent them from logging in again without our permission. To do this, first you must go back to Account and click on the option Sign out of all devices . In this way, you will close the session of your account on all devices, except the one you are using at that time.
Second, it is vitally important to change the password quickly , to prevent the unauthorized person from accessing it again if they know it.
Amazon Prime Video
Unlike Netlix, Amazon Prime Video does offer us the possibility of finding out through the web browser (accessing our account from the platform’s official website), or even from the app.
To check this, we must go to our account (by clicking on the icon that we will find located in the upper right part of the screen), go to Account and settings and, finally, click on My devices .
As in Netflix, in this section you will find out on which devices you have logged in. To remove them, you just have to click on Unregister , which will force the logout of any of the devices.
Again, modify the password to access your account . Although the latter is true that you can only do it from the web browser, since it is not possible to change it through the app.
Disney +
In the case of Disney + the process is also quite similar. You just have to access your account from the web browser, click on your profile avatar (which you will find in the upper right part of the screen), and click on Account .
However, unlike the other platforms, in this section we will not be able to see the devices or places from which you have logged in, but if you suspect that someone may be using your account without your consent, simply force the closure of session on all devices .
Then, all you just have to do to finish is change the password . From that moment on, only those who know it will be able to access the platform.
