It’s possible that you’ve already heard, but Netflix wants to stop password sharing. Netflix will consequently start charging users for password sharing.
You must move your profile to your own account if you presently have a profile on someone else’s account and you don’t anticipate them to pay the inevitable password-sharing costs to keep your profile active. Otherwise, your recommendations, save list, and other settings will be permanently lost.
We’ll teach you how to locate and enable Netflix’s Transfer Profile function on your profile as well as how to move your current profile to a different account in this article.
First you need to enable the Profile Transfer feature on Netflix
You must enable the option in order to move your Netflix profile to a different account. You can carry out this action on the internet and a mobile device (phone or tablet).
If you’re using a computer, open your preferred web browser, navigate to the Netflix website, and enter the desired profile. Next, choose Transfer Profile from the dropdown menu when your cursor is over your profile symbol in the upper right corner. Click the Allow button on the following page.
If you’re using a phone or tablet, open the official Netflix application, go into your profile and then tap your profile icon in the top-right corner to access your account settings. Next, tap Account, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and tap Turn on profile transfers. This will redirect you to the official profile transfer page, where you can then hit the Allow button.
Then, you ought to receive a message stating that your account will shortly receive profile transfers. It stated that I will have the functionality for my account in two days. However, it also stated that if I clicked the confirmation link supplied to me through email, which I did, I could enable the profile transfer option immediately.
Now you can transfer your profile to a new Netflix account
Once the Transfer Profile is enabled, you can transfer your profile to your own new Netflix account. To transfer a profile, log into your original Netflix account (web or mobile) and go into the Transfer Profile page found in your settings. You should then see the start of the Transfer Profile process, which will give you a brief summary of what the feature does:
- Transfers over your recommendations, viewing history, saved games, settings, My List and more to a separate account
- Creates a backup of your profile on the original account
Begin the process by hitting the Next button — you’ll then be asked to enter the credentials for your new account. Verify your email and then follow the prompts you see on the screen to finish setting up your new account. Once this is finished, your profile will be transferred and you’ll have instant access to your new Netflix account.
The owner of the original account will be notified once the process is complete.
Also, if for any reason you get logged out while attempting to transfer, you can continue the process by logging back in and using the Finish Transfer setting.
