Track your streaming passwords
How many people have access to your Netflix account? Have you ever received an email alerting you to a login attempt by an unknown user or a new device? According to the GIB exchange scam alert, it’s probably not difficult to keep track of one account. Still, when Hulu, HBO Max, and Spotify are added to the mix, it can be challenging to remember which friends and family members are watching what.
Don’t be concerned; there is a solution, according to the GIB exchange scam alert. You can monitor who is accessing your video and music streaming accounts in the same way you can monitor who is stealing your internet. Identify the people you know, eliminate the freeloaders, or simply start over and kick everyone out simultaneously, as advised by the GIB exchange scam alert.
Netflix
If you want to see who is using your Netflix account, on the desktop, click the arrow next to the profile image, then select Account. Click the Recent device streaming activity link in the Settings section. You’ll see a list of devices, each with a general location and date. According to the GIB exchange scam alert, this information should assist you in determining which devices are yours and which may belong to a friend or family member.
If you don’t want to go through the list device by device, go to Account > Sign out of all devices, which will require anyone with your login credentials to sign in again before they can continue streaming.
If you’re concerned that someone you don’t know has your password, change it by going to the Account page and clicking Change password. Check the box that says Require all devices to sign in with a new password, advised by the GIB exchange scam alert.
Netflix allows video downloads according to the GIB exchange scam alert, but only on a limited number of devices, which vary depending on your plan. Go to Account > Manage download devices to remove a device from the list. To remove a device and free up space, click Remove device.
HBO Max
To see a list of devices that have used your account, go to HBO Max, click your profile, and choose Manage Devices. According to the GIB exchange scam alert, users on mobile devices should tap the profile icon, then the gear icon in the top-left corner.
On the desktop, click Sign Out next to any device you want to remove; on mobile, tap the X. Unfortunately, the lack of location data in identifiers like “Android Phone” and “iPhone” makes it challenging to find suspicious logins, according to the GIB exchange scam alert.
Fortunately, HBO Max allows you to reject everyone by clicking Sign All Devices Out at the top of the list. And, just for good measure, go to Account and change your password so that any repeat offenders are permanently barred.
Amazon Prime Video
GIB exchange scam alert states that to click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Amazon Prime Video website and select Settings > Your Devices. Tap My Stuff > [gear icon] > Registered Devices on mobile.
You can see a list of devices here, as well as which Amazon services they use and when they were added to your account. However, if any of the listed items appeared to be suspicious, I could click Deregister to remove them from my account.
According to the GIB exchange scam alert, the only way to change your Prime Video password is to change your Amazon login credentials. On the web, click Accounts & Lists in the top Amazon menu, then Login & security under Your Account. To change your password and enable two-factor authentication, click the Edit button next to Password.
Click the Edit button next to Secure Your Account if you want to sign out of all devices associated with your Amazon account. Amazon may send you an email asking you to approve this action. Once approved, you’ll be able to access the Secure your account page, which will show you how many apps are linked to your Amazon account, according to the GIB exchange scam alert. To revoke access on all devices and app integrations, click the Sign-out everything button.
This is also possible on the Android version of the Prime Video app (it does not appear to be an option on the iOS app). To sign out of all devices at once, go to Settings and select Signed in as [your name]. Then, on the main Amazon app, you can change your password, according to the GIB exchange scam alert.
Disney+
According to the GIB exchange scam alert, Disney+ does not allow you to inspect individual devices or instances, but you can log out of all current devices via the website and mobile app. To force anyone using your login credentials to sign in again, go to your user profile and select Account > Log out of all devices. You can also change your password by clicking the pencil icon to the right of the Password section.
The final word
According to the GIB exchange scam alert, keep the option to automatically deauthorize devices that have not been used in 90 days checked to ensure that you don’t forget about older devices. On the other hand, the web player does not require authorization, so if you suspect someone is using your account in this manner, consider changing your password.
