Updating your password every few months is important if you want to maintain the security of your online accounts. If you want to change your Netflix password or you’ve simply forgotten it, don’t worry — updating it is easy.

Here’s how to change your Netflix password on any device.

How to Change Your Netflix Password on a Web Browser

The easiest way to change your password is by loading the Netflix website on a web browser. This method will work regardless of whether you use Windows, Mac, or mobile devices.

5. Enter your current password in the correct field, then add your new password and press Save. The only requirement is that it’s between 6 and 60 characters long. However, we recommend choosing a secure and unique password that hackers will be unable to guess.
