Netflix has long allowed you to add a PIN code to restrict shows and movies that have a high age rating. From the account settings we can block content aimed at people over 7, 13, 16 or 18 years old with a four-digit code In this way, users Children will not be able to access this content unless they activate viewing with a PIN. Now, this option also reaches the users of your account.
It is a very useful function so that the older ones do not have to enter a PIN when we go to see this type of content. Just by putting a PIN code for our account, it would work. In addition, it is also useful if we share Netflix. This way no one gets into our username to watch a series or movie that we have already started. To block your Netflix account with a PIN code, you will have to go to the Account settings. It is accessed from the browser. Click here to go to settings. Then sign in with your Netflix account.
In the 'Profile and parental control' section, click on your user. Then, click where it says 'Profile lock'. Tap changer. Put the password of your account. Now, select the profile and click on the button that says 'Require a PIN to access the profile'.It will ask you for a four-digit code so that we can quickly enter it with our television remote. Confirm to save the data. Remember to update the application on all platforms to be able to apply the PIN.
Improvements in control by content and age
In addition to this user blocking option, Netflix has also added new content restriction measures. Now we can block adult content, ages 7, 13 or 16, per user. In addition, we are also allowed to block series or movies by their name, so that they do not appear when searching for them on the platform. In this way, if we have a user for the little ones in the house, we can establish restrictions only on that account.
On the other hand, the possibility of blocking the titles by their names is very useful. Especially for that content that is very popular on the platform but that may be somewhat inappropriate for the little ones.
