Netflix finally allows you to password the profiles separately . What we are talking about is not the password of the account , but for profiles within it. This is especially useful if your children use your account, as you can protect your adult profile with a PIN, so that children can only use their own profiles.

Many users were waiting for the option to put password to a Netflix profile individually. Now you can set a PIN or password for each user on your account.
Finally we have that possibility and we can control access to each profile from a multi-user perspective. The other people with whom we share an account do not have to see the content we consume on the platform.
Also, this is an essential new feature for parental controls. You can examine your child’s profile, but they may still see R-class content on other profiles on the account. With this new function you will be able to configure PIN blocking in all profiles and prevent children from seeing adult content.
