Ok, so HOW does Netflix think they are going to crack down on "sharing" when the location is SO FAR off?? My DD just signed in with her tablet, she usually uses her phone or tv but decided to use the tablet this morning. She is in our home, using our wi-fi, and I got the "new device has signed in" email... the location says
The details
Device
Web Browser
Location
Virginia, United States
(This location may not be exact.)
Time
September 8th, 6:42 AM PDT
She is in the same place that she always signs in(her room, on our home wi-fi!)!! She's never been to Virginia!! LOL

Definitely weird. Are you sure your account hasn’t been hacked? DH and I have been checking our account logins for a few accounts and have seen some as far away as FL and AL, and we are nowhere near those states. Needless to say, we closed out any open sessions anywhere we are not (or couldn’t logically be considered routed through), and changed passwords.

I did close out the other sign ins, and changed the password though, just to be safe! |

I don’t know what happened to you, but DD is in school in northern Virginia and is still able to log into our Netflix account. She got a notice one day saying you can’t login because it’s not your home net work, and then it’s worked ever since. I wonder if they’re not actually cracking down after all of us people made.

I have wondered about this since DH travels a lot but it always seems to work when he logs in, no matter where he is. It sends me a notice but he's not blocked.

My daughter no longer lives with us but has still been able to login to our account. There was a 2 day period where her profile was deleted on out tv but, it's back and she watches frequently from her own home.

I get that notice every once in a while about a new log in after I have to resign in on one of our devices but it has never listed a location and I know it’s us. Weird that the location is that far off.

Mobile devices are not constricted by the sharing rules. Not sure if this applies to iPads and tablets as well

It kicked my daughter who lives 3 miles away from me off our account but not the kid 1,000 miles away.

I’ve shared with my best friends daughter since the beginning. Just got “caught” last month. I’ll pay the extra $8 a month, she’s my godchild….but I get random questions on my home tv when I watch asking if I’m home or not.

My daughter and I have shared our account since she moved out last year. She got blocked out a few months ago so we just added the extra user/location on the account for $7 or $8. I don't mind.

They saw that my girls were watching and blocked them. We are dropping Netflix. We don't watch much there anyway.
