Link expired

• The link in the email will expire after 24 hours. If it is expired, send yourself another email from netflix.com/loginhelp.

Didn't get the email

1. Check for it in your spam, junk, or promotions folders, and in any email filters you set up.

2. If you can't find the password reset email after checking your folders, try adding info@account.netflix.com to your contact list. Then send yourself a password reset email again.

3. If you still don't get the password reset email, your email provider may be delaying it. Please wait 5 hours, then check your inbox again.

Link doesn't work

1. Delete any Netflix password reset emails that are in your inbox.

2. Once you've deleted the emails, go to netflix.com/clearcookies. This will sign you out and take you back to the home page.

3. Go to netflix.com/loginhelp.

4. Choose Email.

5. Enter your email address and tap or click Email Me.

6. Go back to your email and follow the steps in the new Netflix password reset email.

If you still have trouble, try resetting your password on a different computer, mobile phone, or tablet.

This password is not secure or is too common

If you see the message This password is not secure or is too common when resetting or changing your password, it means that the password you chose is on a list of compromised or commonly used passwords which we don't allow for security reasons. You’ll need to choose a different one.

1. Go to netflix.com/loginhelp.

2. Choose Text Message (SMS).

3. Enter the phone number associated with your account.

4. Tap or click Text Me.

5. You'll be sent a verification code by text message. Enter that code to reset your password. The code expires after 20 minutes.

6. After entering the code, you'll be asked to create a new password. Your new password can't be the same as your last password.

Phone number not linked to account
If you haven't added a phone number to your account, you'll need to reset your password by email. After signing in, you can add a phone number at any time by going to your Account page and selecting Add phone number. If the phone number on your account is no longer valid, go to your Account page and select Change phone number.
