I can almost guarantee I know exactly what is happening here and while it does involve something at netflix being broken it's not what you think.
I had the same thing happen to me where I kept thinking someone was using my Netflix. Weird things popped up in my recently watched that clearly weren't me (this is pretty much the only way to notice someone is using your account if passwords haven't changed). I have guest accounts for my sisters but they know not to use mine as they have their own and weren't sharing the info with other people.
After much digging and several different help sessions with netflix support we came to the conclusion that it actually was my sisters. They typically use Netflix through the xbox at home, but even though they select their user when logging in from time to time the authentication will go funky and default them back to using the main account. My account.
It is super annoying but if you have any delegate accounts I would almost guarantee you that is what's happening. Apparently the only way to fix it is to completely remove the log in session from the offending device and re-add it. It will fix it for a time until the same thing happens again later.
- autarch 12y agoThere are only two people living my house. I know what my wife watches well enough to know that she hasn't watched every season of American Horror Story and all of season 1 of Friends. Netflix also shows you what devices streamed video, and I see devices in Germany and around the US which are not mine.
