If you’ve shared your streaming password too many times, you can see who’s watching and log out any users or devices using this guide.

Sharing your password to your streaming service accounts is great when everyone gets along. However, if you share your password and have a falling out with someone, you might not want them to use it. Learning how to see who’s using your streaming service is important, and you can kick them off if you need to.

You might end up divorced, go through a breakup, or stop being friends. Whatever the reason for not wanting to share your subscription, it might be a good idea to log those users out. You can find out who’s using your Prime Video, Netflix, Max, Spotify, YouTube, and other services and log them off.

In addition to logging out users, these options are good for monitoring services when you think someone cracked your account password and is watching without your permission. Luckily, in this guide, we’ll show you how to see who’s signed into the service, and kick them out.

How to Log Out Devices and Users on Netflix

Netflix is probably the most popular video streaming service, and sharing passwords is commonplace. However, if you want to revoke access to someone, you can go into settings and log out of the device.

Ensuring all devices are logged out takes an extra step, but it’s straightforward to do.

To Sign Out Users on Spotify

1. Open a web browser, go to the Spotify website, and sign into your account.
2. Click your account name in the top right and select Account.
3. On the Account Overview page, scroll down and select the Sign Out Everywhere button. This action will log you out of mobile devices, the web, and desktop. But you need to use steps 4 and 5 to log out of other devices like consoles and smart speakers.

5. Click the Remove Access button next to the apps and devices you want to disconnect from your account.

How to Log Out Devices on Apple TV Plus and Apple Music

2. Click Devices from the left column.
3. Select the device you want to log out of and select the Remove from Account button.

How to Log Out Users and Devices on YouTube

To Log Out Users and Devices on YouTube

1. Sign into your Google Account page.

Logging Out Users and Devices on Streaming Services

Once you follow the steps, the user and device will be removed from your streaming service. However, after kicking them off, you need to change your password right away so they can’t access it anymore.

It is annoying when someone is using the password to your streaming service if you don’t want them to. The services are getting more expensive these days. And while sharing your password helps another person enjoy the content, you might change your mind later for various reasons. Luckily, the primary services make it simple to see who’s signing in and removing their access.
