in this article, im sharing with you How to Set Up PIN Lock on Your Netflix Profile. Netflix is getting protective day by day, improving every part of security to their users while adding new shows and movies all the way. The recent Netflix update brings an ability to add a Netflix profile lock, which simply gives you control over your Netflix account. Netflix allowing easy access to your profile can mix up their watch list with yours, and shows 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.

However, the process can only take place on the PC, it can be done on the Netflix app. So make sure you are connected to the internet on the laptop or PC.
