Why Netflix Logged You Out Automatically
There are a few reasons why Netflix asks for sign-in every time you open the service. Here are the most common ones:
- Your account has been inactive for a long time: Netflix will automatically log you out after a certain period of inactivity. While the time varies depending on your account settings, it’s typically around 90 days.
- Changed your password : If you change your Netflix password, you must sign in again on all your devices.
- Someone logged you out: If you share a Netflix plan with multiple members, someone might have used the Sign out of all devices option.
- Someone else logged into your account : If someone else logged in from a different device, Netflix may have logged you out for security reasons.
- Error from Netflix support: Sometimes, Netflix servers can experience technical problems that can prevent users from logging in.
How to Fix Netflix Keeps Kicking You Out
Preliminary Fixes
- Check if the Netflix Server Is Down : Sometimes, Netflix servers experience outages or maintenance periods, which can cause users to get kicked out of the service. Netflix has a dedicated page to check if their service is operational.
- Disable VPN : A VPN can sometimes interfere with Netflix’s ability to maintain a stable connection. Netflix actively blocks many VPN services to enforce its geo-restriction policies, and this can cause users to get kicked out repeatedly. If you’re using a VPN, try disabling it.
- Update Netflix : An outdated Netflix app might have bugs or compatibility issues that cause it to crash or kick you out. Ensuring your app is up to date can help prevent such issues.
- Check on Other Devices or Incognito Mode : If Netflix continues to kick you out, the issue might be specific to your device or browser. Try logging into Netflix on a different device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. If Netflix works fine on another device, the issue might be with your original device.
