How to See Netflix Password When Logged in (Without Resetting or Changing it)
If you're having trouble remembering your Netflix password, the first solution you'd look for would naturally be its mobile app or web version, right? However, if you go down that lane, you will be disappointed.
This is because Netflix does not allow its users to see their passwords when they log in for security reasons in the app and its web version.
Wondering what else can be done about it? Keep reading to find out!
How to see Netflix password when logged in
In the last section, we learned that Netflix doesn't allow its users to view their passwords, either on the app or on the website. However, just because Netflix won't let you do it doesn't mean it can't be done at all, right?
The most convenient way to view your Netflix password is through your browser and not Netflix itself. Depending on which device you use to stream Netflix, this can be done on both your smartphone and your browser.
1. View Netflix password while logging in (smartphone)
In this section, we will discuss how you can do this on your smartphone. Go through these steps to access this information:
Open Google Chrome on your smartphone.
You will find three dots in the upper right corner. And when you click on them, you will see a drop-down menu with multiple options.
Scroll down to locate Settings and tap on it to go to your Settings page
On this page, the first thing you'll see is the You and Google section that contains your linked email address and some other information.
Below that, you will see the Basics section. In this section you will find the password option. As soon as you do, tap on it.
You will be taken to the password page. Here, you will find a list of all the websites you are logged into with your username/number mentioned in a small font below.
Find Netflix in the list and tap on it.
This will take you to the Edit Password page, where you will find your username and password displayed in various fields.
The password field will only show dots and you need to click on the icon next to it to see your password.

As soon as you do this, your smartphone will ask you to verify your identity by entering your fingerprint, password, PIN or any security settings you use.
Once you're sure it's you, you'll be able to easily see your password.
2. View Netflix password while logging in (Computer/PC)
Now that we have already discussed how to view your Netflix password after logging into your smartphone, we are sure you will find it more or less similar. And we agree, viewing your password is the same on both smartphones and computers.
That's because viewing Netflix (or any other) passwords has nothing to do with Netflix and everything to do with the account you've synced your data with.
So, follow these steps to recover your current Netflix password on your computer/laptop:
Open Google Chrome on your computer. On the top right of the homepage, you will see three small dots; Tap on them.
You will see a drop-down menu with several actionable options. Navigate to Settings at the bottom of this menu and tap on it to go to your Settings page
At the top of the Settings page, you'll see a search bar. Inside this bar, type the password and press Enter.
As soon as you do this, different search results will appear on your screen, divided into different categories. You'll find what you're looking for in the second section: Autofill. The first option in this section is Password; Tap Open it.
You will find a similar list on the password page as on your smartphone. However, here, it will be displayed in a table-like structure, with the first row listing all the sites you've logged into, the second displaying your username, and the third reserved for their password.
Now, initially, all these passwords will be hidden from you, with an icon next to each of them. All you need to do is find the Netflix column in this list and tap on the eye drawn next to its password.
As soon as you do this, you will see a security dialog box asking you to enter your laptop/computer password. Enter your password in the field and press the OK button below.
Once you do this, you will notice how the hidden password will now be visible to you. Now, you can copy and paste it to a safe place, write it on a pad, or take a screenshot of it, whichever you find most convenient.
Do You Want to Reset Netflix Password Instead?
In the previous sections, we talked about viewing your Netflix password on different devices. However, in many cases, when people forget their password frequently, they’d want to change it to something simpler or more convenient to avoid all the hassle.
Has this ever happened to you? If you’re looking to reset your Netflix password but don’t know how to go about it, we’re here to help you out. In this section, we’ll discuss how this can be achieved both on your computer/laptop and on your smartphone. Let’s get started.
Resetting Netflix Password on Android & iPhone
When it comes to resetting your Netflix password on your smartphone, keep in mind that whether you’re an Android or an iOS user, it doesn’t make a difference. The user interface of Netflix’s app is more or less the same for both operating systems, which is why the steps involved in resetting the password will remain the same.
So, in order to reset your Netflix password using the app, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the Netflix app on your smartphone. On the top right corner of the app’s home screen, you’ll find a square icon of your profile; tap on it to go to the Profile & More tab.
Step 2: On top of the Profile & More tab, you’ll see the profile icon of all the users in your account (which could be either 2 or 4). On the lower part of this tab, you’ll find a list of actionable options; tap on the second option here that says: Account.
Step 3: Once you tap on it, you’ll be taken to your Account page on your web browser. On this page, you’ll find a Membership & Billing section, which includes Change password option. Tap on it to go Change Password page.
Step 4: On the Change Password page, you’ll see three empty fields that you need to fill; the first one is for your current password, and the second and third are to enter and confirm your new password.
Right under the first field, you’ll see a tiny message with a link attached to it, reading: Forgot password?
Now, if you already have these details, you can easily fill them here and reset your password. But if you don’t have access to your current password, follow these steps to change it.
Step 5: When you tap on this link, you’ll be taken to another page where you can reset your Netflix password. On this page, Netflix will ask you for your email address; fill it when required, and you’ll receive a mail from them.
It is in this mail that you’ll find detailed instructions on how to reset your password.
Resetting Netflix password Computer/Laptop
Do you want to reset your Netflix password using your computer or laptop? Don’t worry; doing it on a computer is not all that different from doing it in on a smartphone. Given below are the steps that you can follow to get it done:
Step 1: Open netflix.com on your web browser to go to Netflix. Since you’re planning on changing your Netflix password, we’re assuming that you’d already be logged into your account.
Step 2: Once you’re on Netflix’s home page, take your cursor to the top right corner of the page. Here, you’ll find your profile icon. As soon as you drag your cursor on it, you’ll see a drop-down menu with the list of all profiles on this account.
Right below the profile list, you’ll find three actionable options, with the first one being Account; tap on it to go to your Account page.
Step 3: Much like on smartphones, the Account page on your computer also displays the Membership & Billing section first, containing the details of their registered email address, password (which would be hidden), contact number, and the payment method you use (with the UPI ID or card number hidden partially).
Towards the right of these details, you’ll see another list of actionable options, with the second one reading: Change password. Tap on it to go to the Change Password page.
From here, you can follow steps 4 and 5 from the last section to reset your Netflix password. If you don’t want to receive an email for resetting your password, you can receive these details in a text message as well.
