You cannot create a PIN code directly within the Netflix app or website. PIN codes are used to restrict access to certain content, and they are primarily set up by parents or guardians using parental controls.
Here's how to set up PIN codes for Netflix:
Setting Up Parental Controls
- Log in to your Netflix account on a web browser.
- Go to Account from the drop-down menu.
- Click on Profile & Parental Controls.
- Select the profile you want to set a PIN code for.
- Choose Change under PIN for Kids.
- Enter a 4-digit PIN code and confirm it.
- Save your changes.
Now, when you select this profile on any device, a PIN code will be required to access content.
Note: The PIN code is not used to restrict access to the Netflix account itself, only to specific content within the chosen profile.
Setting Up Restrictions
You can also set up restrictions for specific content using the parental controls. This includes:
- TV shows: You can choose to restrict shows based on their maturity rating, such as G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17.
- Movies: Similar to TV shows, you can restrict movies based on their maturity rating.
- Kids profiles: You can choose to restrict content for children's profiles based on age groups, such as preschool, younger kids, or older kids.
By using the parental controls, you can ensure that the content your children access on Netflix is appropriate for their age.
