A new announcement from the company confirms the release of an improvement related to devices and account access.

The function comes under the name Access and device management, which would be “Access and Device Control” in Spanish. This section displays information about connected deviceswhat profiles they access, what they saw and from where.
Netflix defines the feature as something that will give members “additional control over their account.” As an example, a hypothetical situation is given when a family or an individual goes somewhere on vacation. Here, a person logs into their Netflix account from a TV in a hotel. The problem is that “many people forget to log out after that“. This feature is for these people.
However, we all know what it will be used for: to remove members we no longer communicate with, and who we have given access to our account. This, of course, will completely end when the company expands password sharing restrictions to the rest of the world, which most users did not like.
