How to remove a device from your Netflix account in 5 simple steps (2024)

• To remove a device from Netflix, delete it from your list of connected devices in account settings.
• Removing a device from your Netflix account will also remove any downloads on it.
• You can't remove a device from the connected devices list on Netflix just by logging out.

One of the most clever security features Netflix offers is keeping a list of registered devices. This allows you to see who is accessing your account and from where, not to mention it allows you to remove devices you don't recognize or no longer want cleared for streaming.

You can't simply prevent a device from accessing your Netflix account by signing out of it. What you can do instead is change your Netflix password, and then sign out of all devices, forcing each device to be removed from the registered devices list.

You can also remove a device from Netflix by simply deleting it from your list of registered devices. Here's how to do that on desktop and mobile.

1. Go to Netflix's website on a desktop web browser and sign into your account with your username and password.
