Hi, i only yesterday got around to resetting my Mail password to discover several emails telling me about Netflix being added to my account and to "click here" to register. When i clicked, the link said there was a problem.

I called VM Support and they didn;t appear to understand my issue and stated "your registration will be fixed within 5 days". Don;t know how that'll work as VM has no idea what my Netflix account info is.

I've signed out of my Netflix account (everywhere) and reset my password so i'm happy that what's showing on the Netflix channel and App is not my account (it hasn't been hi-jacked). I would though like to view Netflix on my VM box so need the other account to be gone...

Click OK on your 360 remote on the screen that you just posted. On the next screen use the navigation buttons to move all the way across to the left. It opens another side panel. Don't worry about not being able to understand the language/symbols on this screen or the following ones.

I recently changed TV and lost the Paramount+ App (from the TV Apps) and found the App on the VM Box. I then saw the Netflix App and thought, well why not use it, especially as the basic access is free.

Think i have a Tivo Box, the settings above aren;t visible to me. I can select "Home > Settings" but there's nothing obvious to me to find Netflix (I've been thru most of the menu options within Settings).

If you get an email or text message (SMS) asking for your Netflix account email, phone, password, or payment method it probably didn't come from Netflix. Below are tips for identifying and handling suspicious emails and texts to keep your account safe.

Netflix used to cast a blind eye toward password sharing, but that blind eye is quickly turning into the Eye of Sauron. Now, Netflix subscribers must pay extra to share their accounts with family and friends outside their household.

The 30-year-old Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (or CFAA) is often cited as a federal law that could make password sharing a crime, and in 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a particular case of corporate password-sharing was illegal under the CFAA.

Starting back in May, Netflix began emailing users in the United States and other regions who are sharing their accounts with people outside their households. The email details how you can transfer a profile to a new account, as well as the option of paying to share your account.

By hacking into such an account, you can subscribe to a third-party account. This scam works because an increase of a few dollars per month often goes unnoticed by a family who has subscribed to telephone and the Internet with the same provider.

When an account is hacked, you should contact Netflix. If you can still access the account, in Settings, the option "Disconnect all devices" lets you disconnect all devices currently using the account. Then simply change the password. Additionally, you should change your passwords for all other online accounts. Finally, Netflix provides tips for users who receive suspicious emails regarding their service here.

Before the crackdown, Netflix said it needed to take a tough stance on password-sharing as it said members sharing accounts were weakening its ability to be one of the best streaming services out there. So with the extra revenue it's getting the service must be better than ever right? Well no; Netflix raised prices yet again and admitted it makes too many bad movies.

If you've been sharing your Netflix account this guide will be a handy tool for deciphering how Netflix will enforce its rules, and what your options are if you're looking to keep sharing your account with a friend or family member.

If you're in one of those regions and have a profile (or profiles) on your Netflix account for someone who's outside of your household, there's a good chance that you've already received an email telling you about your options.

Now, the 'Sharing your Netflix account' section of Netflix's Help Center simply explains the rules. It says that "a Netflix account is meant to be shared by people living together in one household", with a household defined as "a collection of the devices connected to the internet at the main place you watch Netflix".

People outside that household will need to sign up for their own account to watch, or buy an 'extra member' slot for your account. By hiding its precise methods for detecting password-sharing, Netflix can alter its methods to prevent them from being circumvented.

As you can see, that's nearly the cost of a basic Netflix plan on its own. And that price is per person, so if you want to add two people to a Netflix Premium account you'll have to double the amounts above.

Exactly how it will do this is unclear, though it has previously outlined plans to use its email/phone verification method to grant access, and also a limited-use code that lets you access the service for seven days.

If you're planning to leave Netflix when password-sharing restrictions are brought in then here are the best Netflix movies you need to watch before you unsubscribe. And if you're thinking about joining one of its rivals then here are the best Disney Plus shows, and the best Prime Video movies that you might want to check out.

I Got a message on my Apple TV that I had to contact Netflix because of a problem with my account. I tried through the netflix web site and I had to enter a email address and password. After unsuccessful attempts to try to get a new password, I phoned Netflix. They could only check on my account by looking up my email address. I gave them two addresses and they could not find either address. They couldn't check by my name or by the receipt I received from Apple. I want to know what email address Apple uses for a subscription to Netflix through Apple TV.

Thank you Rysz; That makes sense however netflix does not have that email either. They were surprised at this also. I'm thinking that two letters of my email when typed appear to be another letter. Perhaps it was transcribed wrong in their records? If I have further problems I will check on that.

I stopped buying kindle books years ago. I now buy my books from Google Play. They are generally same price. I use adobe digital editions to read them. I seriously hate amazon and if I can source what I want elsewhere, I usually will. If I can support my local high street I will make that my first port of call. Amazon is too big, too powerful and lost its customer focus imho.

You can actually get a hold of the fraud department with Amazon. If they are uncooperative than go through your bank and report Amazon as a hacked account/ fraudulent charges and your bank should be able to retrieve your money. But as for your accounts and all of your content on Amazon. There are multiple ways to get back in but most routes involve calling Amazon and talking to the right people. I share this info becaude I had a customer have this exact same issue.( I work as a fraud specialist for several banks.) I know my reply is much later than your post but hope this helps

I have not seen this so far. I use Chrome to access my Prime account, and my default browser, Waterfox, to track deliveries using the links in the emails from Amazon telling me that my order has shipped and that, by clicking on them, I can go to an Amazon page where I can track them. On both cases, everything is still as it has been for quite a while already. Perhaps this is being deployed gradually and not everybody has been included yet in the new system?

(1) I regularly clear the caches every two or three days and all cookies (no 3rd party allowed) when I close a browser: so far this year close to 1GB of stuff there has gone into the trash and been put outside, by the curb, to be picked up by the urban sanitation squad. If keeping something in the caches for two or three days between cleanings, saves me the annoyances people here are complaining about, then I see no reason to change my current practice. Of course the reason for my being trouble-free may have nothing to do with cookies or with caches, clean or otherwise: Maybe I live a charmed life!

I always logout after each session and start fresh with the next shopping/browsing excursion. These random security sign in requests are part of the Amazon site protection features. I actually appreciate the extra step.

Not asked for a code sent to me before completing my login to Amazon, here in the USA. I just checked. Only asked for my email address and password, as always. But I subscribe to Amazon Prime, so perhaps that makes a difference, rather than my location?

As it was earlier on, so it is now: Not asked for a code sent to me before completing my login to Amazon, here in the USA. I just checked. Only asked for my email address and password, as always. But I subscribe to Amazon Prime, so perhaps that makes a difference, rather than my location? Go figure. Just glad that this is not my problem. So far.

What you and others complaining here are doing? I have absolutely no problems like yours either with Amazon or with AOL, and I am in contact pretty much daily with both and have not been bothered even once in many so-untroubled years already in the way you, it seems, are.

Your lack of having experienced the same rigamarole as the other posters (having to use 2FA) could be from your browser and computer having been fingerprinted over time (years, perhaps?) by Amazon and AOL due to a possible lack of privacy-conserving settings being available in the browser and other software to prevent such a procedure from taking place.
