Lock icon on a profile or title

To restrict access to a specific profile on your account, you can protect it with a Profile Lock PIN. Profiles protected with a PIN will appear with a lock icon on the profile selection page and require a 4-digit PIN.

While the majority of TV shows and movies are available on an ad-supported plan, some are not because of licensing restrictions. These titles will appear with a lock icon when you search or browse Netflix.

You may see a lock shown on titles:

• In the Top 10 TV Shows or Top 10 Movies rows

• When you search for something to watch

• On the title page after you select a TV show or movie

• Saved to your profile’s My List

• In the Continue Watching row
