How to sign out of Netflix
To sign out of Netflix, open the app or website, go to your account menu, and select the sign-out option. The exact steps depend on whether you're using a phone, computer, tablet, or streaming device. Netflix does not have a single "sign out everywhere" button, so if you want to end your session on multiple devices, you'll need to sign out of each one separately — or change your password, which forces all active sessions to end.
Most people sign out when they're done watching on a shared device, selling a device, or troubleshooting a problem. The process takes less than a minute on any device, and your account remains active afterward — you can sign back in anytime with your email and password.
Key Takeaways
- On phones and computers, open Netflix, tap or click your profile icon, and select "Sign out" or "Log out" from the menu.
- On streaming devices like Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV, go to Settings or Account, find the sign-out option, and confirm.
- Changing your Netflix password immediately ends all active sessions across every device at once.
- If you share your account with others and want to remove just one device, sign out of that device individually rather than changing your password.
Signing out on your phone or tablet
On iPhone or iPad, open the Netflix app, tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner, scroll down, and tap "Sign out". On Android, do the same: open the app, tap your profile icon, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Sign out". The app will ask you to confirm before ending your session.
If you're using Netflix through a web browser on your phone, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), scroll down to find your account name, and look for a "Sign out" or "Log out" link. The exact location varies slightly depending on your browser and Netflix's current layout. After you sign out, the next person to open Netflix on that phone will see the login screen.
Signing out on a computer or laptop
On a Mac or Windows PC, go to netflix.com in your browser. In the top right corner, click your profile icon or account menu. A dropdown will appear with options including "Sign out" or "Log out". Click it and your session will end immediately.
If you're signed in on multiple browsers or computers, you'll need to sign out of each one separately. Signing out in Chrome, for example, does not sign you out in Safari or Firefox on the same computer. This is useful if you share a computer with someone else and want to keep your account separate from theirs.
Signing out on streaming devices
On Roku, open Netflix, find Settings or Account in the app menu, and look for a "Sign out" option. On Amazon Fire Stick, open Netflix, go to Settings (the gear icon), select "Sign out", and confirm. On Apple TV, open Netflix, go to Settings, select your profile, and choose "Sign out". On Google Chromecast with Google TV, open Netflix, tap your profile icon, and select "Sign out".
Smart TV apps vary by manufacturer. Check your TV's app menu or settings for a sign-out option, or consult the TV's manual if you cannot find it. Some older smart TVs may require you to uninstall and reinstall the Netflix app to change accounts. If you're removing the Netflix app entirely from a Roku, press Home, navigate to Netflix, press Options (the star icon on most remotes), and select "Remove channel".
Ending all sessions at once by changing your password
If you want to sign out of Netflix on every device simultaneously, change your Netflix password. Go to netflix.com, click your profile icon, select "Account", find the "Change password" option, and enter a new password. Netflix will immediately end all active sessions across all devices and require you to sign in again with your new password.
This is the fastest way to log out everywhere if you've lost track of which devices you're signed in on, or if you suspect someone else has access to your account. It's also the right move if you're selling or giving away a device — changing your password ensures the new owner cannot access your account even if Netflix is still installed on it.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out, Netflix will no longer remember your profile, viewing history, or recommendations on that device. The next time someone opens Netflix on that device, they'll see the login screen. If multiple people share the device, they can sign in with their own account or create a new profile.
Signing out does not delete your account or cancel your subscription. Your account remains active and you can sign back in anytime with your email and password. If you want to cancel your subscription entirely, that's a separate step in your Account settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sign out of Netflix on one device without affecting others?
Yes. Signing out on a single device only ends that session. Other devices where you're signed in will remain active. If you want to end all sessions at once, change your password instead.
What if I forgot which devices I'm signed in on?
Go to netflix.com, click your profile icon, select "Account", and look for "Manage access and devices" or "Recent device streaming activity". This shows all devices currently signed in. You can sign out of individual devices from this menu, or change your password to end all sessions at once.
Does signing out delete my watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and recommendations stay in your account. They'll be there when you sign back in, even on a different device.
Can I sign out of Netflix on a device I no longer have?
Yes. Go to your Account settings on netflix.com, find "Manage access and devices" or "Recent device streaming activity", and select the device you want to sign out of. Netflix will end that session remotely. If you can't find the device in the list, change your password to end all sessions.
What's the difference between signing out and removing the app?
Signing out ends your session but leaves the app installed. Removing the app deletes it from the device. On most devices, you can sign out without removing the app. On some older devices like older Roku models, you may need to remove the app to change accounts.
