    Hey all. Sorry if this was posted before, but I can't find anything (nor in a Google search). I've been paying for Netflix since the early days, no problem there. Other family members (mainly teens that are not mine) are using the other profiles. Again, no bother. Sometimes they'd use mine and my recommendations get messed up (no, I have 0 interest in High School Musical or Peppa the fcking Pig!), but I got over it.

    Recently, the parents got a smart LG, and it has Netflix. They're both over 70, and while the mother is able to use most tech, the father hasn't a hope. I've reset a profile and named it for them, and told the family to not use it. But I don't trust them (I want the parents profile to recommend movies they'd be interested in based on what I've already set up for them to watch).

    I know Netflix allows you to put a PIN on profiles, which I've just done, but to remove/view it all you seem to have to do is log in, which they can because they have the password. Is there any other way to prevent the PIN being removed/viewed?

    Also just spent half an hour going through my view history removing shyte that they've been watching on my profile! Didn't know you could, handy feature but could be updated to view by Series instead of episodes.

    Thanks in advance, and apologies again if this is right in front of my face and I can't find it!
