How to Lock Netflix Profile with Password in 2025

🗓️ February 7, 2024, By ✍️ Karly Wood

In this article, I’m sharing with you How to Set Up a PIN Lock on Your Netflix Profile. Netflix is getting protected daily, improving every part of security for their users while adding new shows and movies. The recent Netflix update brings an ability to add a Netflix profile lock [funny Netflix Profile name], which gives you control over your Netflix account. Netflix, allowing easy access to your profile, can mix up their watch list with yours and show the irritating shows in the Continue Watching panel, which, for me, is unacceptable. But with the profile lock, no other person can jump into my profile and watch the movies and shows.

Setting Profile Lock on Netflix barely takes 5-10 minutes if you really are aware of the correct procedure. In this short tutorial, I’ll show you how to lock the Netflix profile quickly. However, the process can only take place on the PC; it can be done on the Netflix app. So ensure you are connected to the internet on the laptop or PC.
