Question

Someone else changed my password. How can I make it more secure?

Community Answer

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).
