Have you written your password down anywhere, such as on a slip of paper that you might have shared with roommates or your kids? Perhaps your browser's built-in password manager saved the password for you, and you can access it that way.

If you've shared your Netflix password with anyone else, you should also ask them if they changed it. Anyone who can log into your account can change the password, so they might have done so without thinking how it could affect other people who use the account.

Failing those possibilities, try to remember if you had a specific theme in mind when you chose your Netflix password. Did you use the name of your favorite show, or something related to Netflix itself? Thinking about this can help jog your memory.

If you still can't remember your password after these considerations, the only real solution is to reset your password. There's no way to see your Netflix password on the service or anywhere else. Since services like Netflix store your credentials securely, you won't find them sitting around in plain text.

Thankfully, it's easy to reset your Netflix password when you don't remember it. Head to Netflix's Login Help page, which you can access by clicking Need help? below the text boxes on the login page.

There, enter the email address for your account and hit Email Me. You'll receive an email with a link to change your password. Follow this link to set a new password; make sure it's one you can remember!

If you prefer, you can also choose to reset your password via Text Message. Enter the phone number associated with your account and you'll get a code that lets you reset your password. This won't work unless if you have a phone number tied to your Netflix account.

In case you can't reset your password using either of these methods, you'll have to click I don't remember my email or phone and enter your name and credit card number. If you pay for Netflix through another company, like Xfinity, you'll need to contact them to get your password reset.

The easiest way to keep track of your Netflix password (and all your other passwords) is to start using a password manager. These create strong, unique passwords for every site you use and lock them all behind one master password. This cuts down on the amount of passwords you have to remember and makes the passwords themselves stronger, too.

We've shown how to get started with a password manager if you're new. If you don't want to use one for some reason, you might consider keeping a copy of your Netflix password on a slip of paper in a locked safe or something like that.

I have a similar scenario, receiving a notification on my iPhone that approx 80 of my username/passwords are the subject of a data breach. However many of my passwords on this notification are different. Ie, not the same password across all sites. I often use a similar password but with different letters or numbers at the end.

I can understand the concept of, say, a retailers website getting hacked and suffering a data breach that contains a list of all its customers including my email and password. And I get that as a precaution Apple may notify me about a potential breach for any other websites where I may have the same email & password combination. But why would I be notified of many other passwords being at risk? Is it because they may contain 'part' of the same password? But that still doesn't explain the notifications relating to my wife and sons passwords which are nothing like mine.

i bought an iphone 8 plus on ebay and right when i was signing in to all my accounts that i used before it always says its been in a data leak, i want to know if this is from me buying an iphone from ebay or if its just like those scam phone calls you get when they ask for your credit card information.

Clearly 1 causes me great concern but 2 would seem reasonable, in that there will be numerous people worldwide that would randomly choose the same 5 figure number, of which some poor sole has had their data breached.

Re-use a password, and some miscreant will now have access to that service, and whatever additional access can be gained from there. Access ro an Apple,ID (and particularly one without two-factor enabled) is a Bad Day for the account holder, too.

But to keep passwords for every websites is insane. How can we remember those passwords? If this is the solution then it sucks. Normal people can't remember each and every password (now you will tell that you don't have to remember the password but instead your phone or computer will do it. Unfortunately, Life is not that simple.

All of these work the same way. They store your passwords using strong encryption, and you only have to remember one password for the app itself to find any password and have it entered automatically into the website or app.

haveibeenpwned contacts multiple famous services such as wattpad and mathway, etc to see if they have been exposed to hackers and accounts have been sold or leaked, and might also confirm that your email or phone-number is part of that list.

Contrastingly Apple's Keychain services use a different method. Like many VPN services like NordVPN, Keychain actually references many deep web links to compromised accounts and immediately contacts the owner. Quote:

What this does is essentially create a unique fixed-length hexadecimal fingerprint that identifies the string of text that is your password. For instance, here's what my-secure-password looks like after being hashed using MD5:

They store this hash in their internal database and every time you log into Netflix, the password you supply during the login process is hashed once again using the same scheme and is matched against the copy of the hashed password stored in their database.

If they match, they know that you've entered the correct password and you're granted access. If they don't, you're not authenticated. This is why when you click on some variation of the Forgot password link they don't send you your old password but rather ask you to choose a new one. It's because they don't know what your password is either.

If you did, Firefox stores a small tidbit of information on your computer that uniquely identifies you whenever you visit Netflix. These 'cookies' as they are called generally persist for a short period time until the session is active and then expire. Some however may last weeks or longer. Delete that cookie and Netflix won't remember you.

Regarding your second question, if Firefox didn't 'remember' the password, it isn't stored anywhere. What's stored is the cookie. Firefox stores them in its Profiles folder in the file cookies.sqlite which is a SQLite database file.

There's nothing wrong with Netflix. Just like almost all websites that you can log on, it stores a cookie on your PC which among other things, stores an encrypted data representing your password.

Some web services may use cookies that are valid only for a short period of time or only in the current session (for example Yahoo and Facebook unless you select a Remember me on this computer option). But apparently Netflix uses cookies that are valid for a longer period of time which keeps you logged on unless you delete your browser history - especially cookies.

Now, you may be asking what's the use of password store in the browser. That's very simple. If you log out from Netflix (or whatever else) the cookie gets deleted. If you want to log back in you'll have to enter both the account username and the password. If you have saved your password in the browser, it will autocomplete that field when you type the username.

Hi, I have an issue with my email account and I hope you can help. I'm currently locked out of my netflix account and don't remember the password, I enter my email address and it sends me a link to reset it, however that email never gets to me. I've checked the spam folder and I've also checked forwarding settings and there's nothing set.

I've tested that I can receive emails, I received the verification to let me log into the forums, and I've also had a friend email me that came through straight away. Please could someone help me? Without being able to log in, I'm just paying for a service that not only can I not afford, but I can't cancel it either.

@Jenny349 My initial reaction was to "just say no." However, I then realized that Netflix memberships are geographically based. So a US membership won't be workable on servers in another country, or the content will be limited. I have friends in other countries that use a VPN so that they can access the US based content on both Amazon and Netflix.

I would not give out your personal password, but if many of your guests are from other countries far away, it may be worth it to purchase a separate guest membership for your property. On the scale of things, it's a small price to pay for happy/happier guests.

@Jenny349 Perhaps they tried and ran into the issues I mentioned. I think you can log in but you get a message that your content is limited. Something like that. I experienced that the last time I traveled outside the U.S., but it's been a while so I don't remember the exact message.
