Does Netflix keep logging you out of your account? Some users have complained that they keep getting signed out of Netflix whenever they reopen the app. Hence, they have to log into their account after every restart or every time they have to use the app. This problem is reported to occur on both PC and Xbox consoles.
Why won’t my Netflix account stay signed in?
If Netflix is not letting you stay signed in and keeps logging you out of your account, you might have unchecked the Remember me option while signing in. Apart from that, if you have exceeded the maximum number of devices allowed to use a Netflix account, this problem may occur. You may also face this issue in a browser due to outdated and corrupted browsing data. Other reasons for the same can be ongoing server problems, enabled VPN, or an outdated Netflix app.
Netflix keeps logging me out on PC
Here are the fixes you can follow if Netflix keeps signing you out of the app every time you open the app on your Windows PC:
- Perform some preliminary checks.
- Check how many people are using your account.
- Clear the browser cache and cookies.
- Turn off your VPN.
- Update your Netflix app.
- Uninstall and reinstall Netflix.
1] Perform some preliminary checks
The first thing you should do is check the current server status of Netflix servers. However weird it may sound, this issue could result from an ongoing server issue. If the servers responsible for login and account management tasks face issues, you might experience this problem. Hence, make sure Netflix servers are not down.
The next thing you should check is that you have ticked the Remember me checkbox when signing into Netflix.
2] Check how many people are using your account
Netflix might be signing you out because there are multiple other devices logged into the same account. According to the subscription plan, there is a limit to the maximum number of devices that can use the same Netflix account. Here are the number of devices allowed for a Netflix plan:
- Basic: 1 device at a time.
- Standard: 2 devices at a time.
- Premium: 4 devices at a time.
If this limit is exceeded, you might experience this issue. Hence, you need to log out of other devices where your account is being used. You can ask your family and friends who are using your account to log out of the account.
You can also log out of all devices from your Netflix account to avoid this issue in the future. Here are the steps to do that:
- First, launch a web browser, open Netflix, and log in to your account.
- Now, click on your profile icon from the top-right corner and choose the Account option.
- Next, look for the Sign out of all devices option and click on it.
- You can now try logging back to Netflix on your primary device and see if the problem is resolved.
Another thing you can do if you cannot make other users sign out of your account is to change your password. For that, you can use the above steps to access the Account settings page. After that, click on the Change password option and enter old and new passwords. Or, you can also go to the netflix.com/password page and change your password. See if this helps.
