Netflix user profile can be bypassed

[S.Claus]

Only way to fix this is if Netflix requires a full profile pin to add/delete a kids profile

Refresher course on very top of post. 1account = 5 shared profiles. Revoking access means have to delete entire account to prevent access. Defeating entire purpose of this post anyway

Just change your password, and log the other users devices back with the exception of your son's devices

The device in question is a smart tv shared by everyone in the house. No cellphones tablets or laptops in question here

If you read the entire original post, I stated that I deleted my own 'pin locked' profile WITHOUT entering my pin first, and create a new profile without a pin with full access, just to test what my son accomplished.

Changing the account will acomplish nothing at all. You will still have the same problem with the profiles itself.

Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

Sounds like you more interested in solving the particular issue and not winning the battle of wits with your 12yo.

Edit: if it was me, everybody in home can only watch Netflix on the TV through casting via their phones

Edit on edit,: I just realised most TVs dont run android and don't have a Chromecast feature

I love to see your kids get hold of your phone, posting on your phone eg. to your work or family members, messages while casting to your tv. Oh btw watching directly on tv or casting, different situation but same outcome. Not solving the problem still

In that case sit down with him and have a heart to heart about trust. If he doesn’t comply you remove his access to Netflix or electronics entirely (you’re a parent not a policeman that’s governing him 24/7)

Edit: If you read my post it seems like a Netflix problem and only they can fix it
