Netflix Household Verification Problems: How to Fix It
Netflix says your device isn't part of your Netflix Household, or keeps asking you to verify.
What exactly is happening?
Try these in order
- Update your Household from your TV. On your TV, press Back on the remote, go to Get Help or Settings → Manage Netflix Household → Update Netflix Household (Netflix Help).
- Confirm with the email or text. Select Send Email (or Send Text), open it, tap Yes, This Was Me, then Confirm Update. Links expire after 15 minutes (Netflix Help).
- Do it from your main internet connection. Netflix may only link one Wi-Fi network to your Household. Update from the connection you use most (Netflix Help).
- Sign out of devices you don't recognize. Devices still signed in at a hotel or someone else's home can cause problems — try Sign out of All Devices (Netflix Help).
- Know the rules. Your account can't be shared outside your Household. People elsewhere need their own account or can be added as an extra member (Netflix Help).
Still stuck? If you don't watch Netflix on a TV, you don't need to set a Household at all (Netflix Help).
