Learning How to log out of your Netflix account on Smart TV

Have you ever wanted to log out of Netflix on your TV? It might be that you’re getting rid of your old TV, relocating to a new home or feel like using another account. 

This is a question I get often, yet it can be harder than on your phone or computer.

Since more people use smart TVs, learning how to manage your streaming accounts is very important for keeping your personal information safe.

If you don’t take your Netflix account off a TV before you move or share it in a hotel, there’s a risk. 

It might let someone see what videos you’ve looked at and what videos the platform recommends to you. Also, if your account can stream only a few things at once, signing out of leftover devices can let more people stream. 

Don’t fret, we are here to make this as easy as possible. This guide will help you log out of Netflix on most smart TVs, so your account remains protected in 2025 and in upcoming years.

1. Standard Method: Look for the Symbol or Link for Help When Needed

For today’s smart TVs made by Samsung, LG, Sony and Roku TVs, the steps are often the same. 

Netflix normally includes the sign-out choice under “Get Help” or “Settings.”

This guide will show you the steps you need to take.

Open the Netflix app by turning on your smart TV and find the Netflix app there. Be sure to open the Netflix app to the Home screen.

Sit back and look at the Menu. Move your TV remote to the left to make a selection. Doing this action should show the main menu sidebar. Should the list of options come up at the top, click your profile icon.

Third step, look for “Get Help” or “Settings.” Find the category you want by scrolling down the menu. Either a “Get Help” or “Settings” icon (resembling a gear) can be found. Try looking under “Account” if you are using an older TV.

In the next step, pick the “Sign Out” option. Once there, scroll down the menu to look for the option. There should be a button for you to log out or sign out. Select it.

Make sure to confirm you’ve picked the best option for you. You will get a message on your screen that indicates the process is complete. The system asks if you want to go ahead with signing out. Choose “Yes” or “Confirm” to keep going.

The next step is to make sure you are not still logged in. You should once again see a sign-in screen when using the Netflix app. That shows you completed logging out.

2. The Secret Code Method (What To Do If Everything Else Fails)

Often, these choices can be difficult to spot in the application. It is possible that the application is having glitches. To do this if you need to sound very formal, use the “secret code” that Mexico recommends. 

This process supports most of the leading TV and streaming device brands.

Here’s a guide to how the words are used:

On the main Netflix screen, proceed to the first step. Verify that you are using the Netflix app and that it is you see its main home page.

Enter the Konami-like Code as Step 2. With the help of the remote’s arrow keys, press this sequence in just a few seconds:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up

For the third step, choose the option to sign out or start again. As soon as you enter the code, a secret diagnostic menu will open. In the menu, you can see that you can choose “Sign Out,” “Start Over,” “Reset,” or “Deactivate.” Select the option that makes it clear you need to log out.

The next step is to confirm. Click “OK” to approve your action.

If you can’t think of a word, using this method will certainly help.

3. Remotely Exit Your Netflix Experience Through the Website

What should you do if you do not have a smart TV? You might have forgotten to end your session at your friend’s place or while staying at a hotel. If you’re logged in from different devices, Netflix allows you to log out of them all at once.

Here’s the process for you:

Going to the Netflix website for support is the first thing you should do. Launch a browser on your PC or mobile gadget. Visit Netflix at netflix.com.

Wipe the paint from the second step and check the spots you missed. To log in, enter your email address and password for Netflix at login.

Following that, head to your Account Settings. Click your profile image at the top right of the page, then pick “Account” from the menu that appears.

The next step is to locate “Manage Access and Devices.” Go down to where the “Security & Privacy” area is. Access this section by clicking on “Manage access and devices” (or also known as “Sign out of all devices”).

At step 5, you can sign out from a single device or from every platform with your account. Once you log in, you’ll find a list of all the devices using your Netflix account. Click the “Sign out” button for your smart TV or go for the option “Sign out of all devices.”

Confirm your product order. Select your choice once you are prompted. Please note that the remote logout can take up to 8 hours to affect all your devices.

It’s simple and important to always log out of Netflix on your TV. Both when upgrading your gear and when securing your profile, these tips guarantee that your streaming experience is easy and private. Happy streaming!
