Netflix is everywhere! Whether you’re on your phone, computer, or smart TV, accessing your Netflix account should be quick and easy. This guide will walk you through how to log in to Netflix on any device – be it an Android phone, iPhone, laptop, smart TV, or more. We’ll also cover alternative sign-in methods (like one-time codes and QR codes) for those times you can’t remember your password. 

The tone here is friendly and beginner-friendly, so don’t worry if you’re not tech-savvy. By the end, you’ll be ready to enjoy your Netflix experience hassle-free on any device. Let’s get started!

How to Log in to Netflix on a Mobile Phone (Android & iPhone)?

Logging into Netflix on your smartphone is straightforward. The Netflix login process is virtually the same on Android and iPhone. Make sure you have the Netflix app installed from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iPhone). Once the app is ready, follow these steps to sign in to Netflix on your mobile device:

1. Open the Netflix app on your phone.
   – If you haven’t downloaded it yet, install the Netflix app from the official store (Google Play Store for Android, App Store for iPhone). The app is free to download.
   
2. Tap “Sign In.”
   – You’ll usually see the Sign In option on the welcome screen when you open Netflix. Tap it to go to the login screen. (If the app opens straight to a profile or home page, you might already be logged in with a profile – in that case, you’re all set!)
   
3. Enter your Netflix account email (or phone number) and password.
   – Use the on-screen keyboard to type the email address or phone number associated with your Netflix account, then type your password. On mobile, the keyboard will appear so you can easily fill in the details.
   – Double-check your email/phone and password for any typos. Passwords are case-sensitive, so “Password123” is different from “password123”.
   
4. Tap the “Sign In” button to log in.
   – After entering your credentials, press Sign In. Within a second or two, you should be logged into your Netflix account on your phone. You’ll know it worked when you see your Netflix profiles or the Netflix home screen with movie/show selections.
   

Tips & Common Issues: Logging in on mobile is usually trouble-free, but here are a few pointers just in case:

• Forgot your password? Tap “Forgot Password?” (sometimes shown as “Need help?”) on the sign-in screen. Netflix will guide you to reset your password via email or text. They’ll send you a link or code to create a new password so you can sign in.
  
• Email/Phone not found? Make sure you’re using the correct email address or phone number that you used when you signed up for Netflix. It’s easy to mix up emails if you have multiple accounts.
  
• Typos: On small screens, it’s easy to mistype. If you get an error like “cannot find account” or “wrong password,” recheck what you entered. Look out for accidental spaces or wrong capitalization.
  
• Stay signed in: The Netflix mobile app will keep you signed in until you actively log out. There’s no “remember me” checkbox – it does it automatically. So next time you open the app, you won’t need to log in again, making it super convenient to use Netflix on mobile anytime.
  

Once you’ve successfully logged in on your Android or iPhone, you can start browsing and playing your favorite shows. Using Netflix on mobile is as easy as tapping on a title to play it – perfect for watching on the go!

How to Log in to Netflix on a Laptop or Desktop?

Using Netflix on a computer (laptop or desktop) is just as easy. You don’t even need to install anything (unless you want the Windows Netflix app) – a web browser will do. Here’s how to sign in to Netflix on your laptop or desktop:

1. Open a web browser on your computer (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge – any popular browser works).
   
2. Go to the Netflix website by typing Netflix.com into the browser’s address bar, then press Enter.
   
3. Once the Netflix homepage loads, click the “Sign In” button.
   – You’ll find Sign In at the top-right corner of the page on Netflix’s website. Click it, and it will take you to the login page.
   
4. Enter your Netflix login credentials (email/phone and password).
   – In the Email or Phone Number field, type the email address or phone number associated with your Netflix account.
   – In the Password field, carefully type your password. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive (check that your Caps Lock key is off to avoid typing the wrong case).
   
5. Click “Sign In” to log in to Netflix on your computer.
   – After clicking Sign In, Netflix will verify your credentials and log you in. You’ll then see your profile selection or the Netflix homepage with content ready to stream.
   

That’s it! You are now signed in to Netflix on your laptop/desktop and can start streaming right away. Here are a few additional tips for a smooth experience:

• Save your login (optional): On the login page, you might see a “Remember me” checkbox. If you check this, your browser will keep you logged in so you don’t have to enter your details next time. Only do this on a personal computer, though – avoid it on a shared or public PC for security.
  
• Forgot password on web: If you can’t recall your password, click “Forgot password?” on the Netflix sign-in page. Netflix will email or text you a code to reset it, similar to the mobile process. Follow the steps in the email to set a new password and then log in with it.
  
• Using the Netflix app on Windows: If you’re on Windows 10 or 11, you have the option to use the Netflix app (available from the Microsoft Store). The sign-in process there is virtually the same – open the app, click Sign In, and enter your email and password. The app can be handy if you prefer a dedicated program, but it’s not required.
  
• Multiple profiles: After logging in on the web, Netflix might ask “Who’s watching?” if you have multiple profiles set up. Just click your profile name or icon to proceed. This isn’t a second login, just profile selection.
  
• Troubleshooting: In case you encounter any login issues on your computer:
  – Double-check the spelling of your email. A small typo will prevent login (for example, “gmail.con” instead of “gmail.com”).
  – Ensure the correct password. If you get an “Incorrect Password” error and you’re sure it’s right, try re-entering or use the forgot password link.
  – If the site says it doesn’t recognize your email, confirm that you’re using the right email (perhaps you used a phone number to sign up, then try that, or vice versa).
  – Try a different web browser if something isn’t working. Occasionally, clearing your browser’s cache or using another browser can fix odd issues logging in.
  

Logging in via a web browser on a laptop or desktop is typically very quick. Once signed in, you can browse Netflix’s library and watch shows on a bigger screen. Enjoy your streaming!

How to Log in to Netflix on a Smart TV?

Got a new smart TV and eager to watch Netflix on the big screen? Netflix on TV is a fabulous experience, and logging in is usually a one-time process. There are two primary ways to log in on a TV:

• Option A: Using your TV remote to enter your email and password (the traditional way).
  
• Option B: Using a second device (like your phone or computer) to sign in via a code or link (this saves you from typing long passwords on the TV).
  

We’ll explain both methods below. Grab your remote, and let’s get your Netflix login to TV set up!

Option A: Log in Using Remote

This is the standard way to log in directly on the TV. It can be a bit tedious to type with a remote, but you usually only need to do it once per device. Here’s how:

1. Open the Netflix app on your smart TV.
   – Most smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, etc.) come with the Netflix app pre-installed or available in the TV’s app store. Navigate to your TV’s apps and select Netflix.
   – If you don’t see Netflix, go to the TV’s app/store marketplace (it might be called “Apps”, “App Store”, “Channel Store” or similar on your TV) and download the Netflix app. It’s free to install.
   
2. Select “Sign In” on the welcome screen.
   – When Netflix opens on the TV, you’ll either see a welcome screen that says Member Sign In or a prompt asking if you’re a member. Use your remote’s arrow keys to highlight Sign In, and press the OK/Enter button on the remote.
   
3. Enter your Netflix email address or phone number.
   – An on-screen keyboard will appear. Use the arrow keys on your remote to navigate the keyboard and press OK to select each character. Enter the email address (or phone number) associated with your Netflix account.
   – Go slowly and make sure each character is correct. Typing with a remote can be clunky – it’s easy to select the wrong letter. If you make a mistake, there’s usually a backspace/delete option on the on-screen keyboard.
   – Tip: Some smart TVs let you use voice input or have a smartphone companion app to type – if your TV has these features, it can make entering your email easier.
   
4. Enter your Netflix password.
   – After the email is entered, the on-screen keyboard will let you switch to the password field (sometimes you navigate to a “Next” or the password box and press OK). Now, use the remote to enter your password.
   – Remember: Netflix passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters must be exact. If your password has any capital letters or symbols, use the remote’s on-screen keyboard shift key (often an up-arrow icon for uppercase) or symbol selector to input those correctly. For example, “DragonFly#7” must be entered with the capital ‘D’ and ‘F’ and the # symbol exactly.
   – It might take a little patience to get it right. Don’t worry if it’s slow – you only have to do this once.
   – Tip: Many TVs have a “Show Password” option (look for an eye icon or a checkbox) which, if selected, will display the password as you type. This can help you verify you typed it correctly before submitting.
   
5. Submit and sign in.
   – Once your email and password are entered, locate the Continue, Sign In, or OK button on the screen (the wording may vary). Use the remote to highlight that button and press OK/Enter.
   – Netflix will then attempt to log in with those credentials. If everything was entered correctly, you’ll be logged in and taken to your Netflix profile screen or home screen. Success – your TV is now connected to your Netflix account!
   

Tips for Remote Sign-In:

• Take your time typing – it’s normal for it to be a little slow. It’s better to be slow and correct than have to redo it due to a typo.
  
• If the TV says your email or password is incorrect, double-check the spelling and case. You can select Previous or the back button to re-enter if needed. Netflix even notes on some devices that passwords are case-sensitive, reminding you to get capitals right.
  
• If you try a few times and it’s not working, you can opt to reset your password (via a phone or computer) if you think you might have the wrong password. Use Forgot Password on another device, set a new password, then try again on the TV.
  
• Some smart TVs (or devices like Apple TV) offer an alternative “Send me a sign-in link” option after you enter your email. If you see Send Sign-In Link, that means Netflix can email you a special link to automatically sign in the TV without typing your password. This is handy – you’d grab your phone or PC, open the Netflix email, click the link, and the TV logs in. Use this if you prefer it and if your device supports it. If not, you’ll just enter the password as usual.
  

Once logged in, your smart TV will stay logged in to Netflix until you sign out or uninstall the app. Next time you just open Netflix and go straight to browsing movies. Enjoy Netflix from the comfort of your couch!

Option B: Log in Using a Code

Don’t want to mess with typing on a TV remote? Netflix has you covered with a second method: using a code (or QR code) to log in. This method lets you use your phone or laptop to sign in, which is much faster than entering a long password with a remote. Many smart TVs and streaming devices support this. Here’s how to use the code method for Netflix login on TV:

1. Open Netflix on your TV and go to Sign In.
   – Just like before, launch the Netflix app on the TV and choose Sign In. This time, pay attention to the instructions on the TV screen – it may automatically display an alternate login option.
   
2. Check for a code or QR login option on the TV screen.
   – In this method, instead of immediately asking for your email and password, the TV might show you a special code or a QR code. For example, it might say “To sign in, visit netflix.com/tv8 and enter the code XXXX-XXXX” and simultaneously show a QR code on the screen.
   – If you see a QR code: That funny square barcode can be scanned with your phone’s camera to make login super easy. We’ll cover that in a moment.
   – If you see an alphanumeric code (like “AB12CD34” or similar): That’s the code you’ll use on another device to authorize the TV.
   
3. On your phone or computer, open a browser and go to the Netflix activation page.
   – Using a second device (like your smartphone, tablet, or laptop), open your web browser and go to the URL provided on the TV. Netflix often uses addresses like Netflix.com/activate or a variation such as Netflix.com/tv8 or Netflix.com/tv2 for this purpose. (If you have an Apple TV, the code might tell you to go to Netflix.com/atv, which is just an Apple-specific login page.)
   – If the TV shows a QR code and you prefer that route, you can skip opening a browser manually: just scan the QR code with your phone’s camera, and it will likely take you directly to the correct Netflix login page with the code, as described in the next step.
   
4. Enter the code and your Netflix credentials (if asked).
   – The Netflix activation webpage will typically have a field to input the code from your TV. Type in the code exactly as shown on your TV screen.
   – If you weren’t already signed in on your phone/computer’s browser, it may first ask you to log in to your Netflix account on that browser (with your email and password). This is just to verify that you are the account owner authorizing the new device. Go ahead and sign in on the web if prompted – it’s the usual Netflix login form.
   – After signing in on the web (if required), enter the activation code from the TV into the field. Then submit the form (the button might say Activate, Continue, or Sign In).
   
5. Watch the TV log you in automatically.
   – Within a few seconds of submitting the code, the Netflix app on your TV should recognize it. The TV screen will likely refresh and log you into Netflix automatically. Boom – no typing on the TV required! You should now see your profiles or the Netflix home screen on your TV.
   
6. Select your profile and enjoy.
   – Use the remote to choose your profile (if you have multiple) and start watching. You won’t need to repeat this process unless you log out of Netflix on the TV or it for some reason asks you to sign in again in the future.
   

Tips for Code Login:

• Using the QR code: If your TV displays a QR code on the sign-in screen, you can use it instead of manually going to the website. Just open your smartphone’s camera and point it at the QR code (no need to take a picture; just viewing it should prompt a link to appear). Tap the link that pops up on your phone, and it will jump to the Netflix activation page, often with the code already filled in. Then you just confirm logging in. Netflix describes this as pointing your phone at the TV and following the link that appears – it’s very convenient.
  
• Code not working or expired? Netflix codes for device login might expire after a short time (usually a few minutes) for security. If you took too long, just go back to the TV and select sign in again to get a new code. Then quickly redo the steps.
  
• No code option on TV: Not every TV or device shows a sign-in code. If you don’t see any code or QR code on your TV screen, it means that particular app requires the old-fashioned login with remote (Option A). In that case, you won’t have the code method available and will need to enter your email/password on the TV. Most newer devices have some form of code login, but some older models might not.
  
• Apple TV devices: If using an Apple TV box, the process is essentially the same – Apple TV will usually display a code that you enter at Netflix.com/atv, but again, Netflix will guide you on-screen.
  
• After login: Just like with remote login, once your smart TV or streaming device is signed in via the code, it stays signed in. You can launch Netflix next time without repeating these steps, until you sign out or uninstall the app.
  

Using a code to log in can save a lot of time and frustration. It’s perfect for those long passwords or email addresses – you handle all that on your phone’s keyboard instead. Now, you’re all set to watch Netflix on your TV without the login hassle!

How to Log in to Netflix on Another Device?

Netflix isn’t limited to phones, computers, and smart TVs. There are many other devices that can stream Netflix – from streaming sticks to game consoles. The good news is the Netflix login steps are usually very similar: you launch the Netflix app on the device and sign in with your account. Let’s go over a few common device types and how to sign in on each:

• Streaming Devices (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, etc.): These plug-and-play devices make any TV smart. To log in to Netflix on a streaming device, first install or launch the Netflix channel/app on the device. For example, on a Roku you’d go to the Channel Store and add Netflix (if it’s not already on your home screen). On an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Netflix might be pre-installed or available in the Apps section. Once you open Netflix, the sign-in process will appear. You’ll either enter your email and password using the remote (just like the smart TV method in Option A) or in some cases you might get an activation code option (like Option B) on devices that support it. Follow the on-screen prompts. Roku devices often use an activation code method – they’ll give you a code and instruct you to visit roku.netflix.com or netflix.com/activate on your phone/PC to complete the login. Similarly, Apple TV will give you a code to enter at Netflix’s site for activation. In all cases, once you complete those steps, the device logs into Netflix and you’re done.
  
• Game Consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch): If you’re using a gaming console to watch Netflix, the first step is to find the Netflix app on your console’s store or library. On PlayStation, for example, you can download Netflix from the PlayStation Store under media apps. On Xbox, you’ll find Netflix in the Microsoft Store. After installing, launch the Netflix app. The sign-in on a console works similarly to a smart TV – you’ll use your game controller to input your email and password on the login screen. It’s like typing with a remote: you navigate an on-screen keyboard with the controller’s joystick or d-pad. Enter your Netflix credentials and sign in. The app will log you in and save your info. (Some newer consoles might also offer the code login option or even allow you to use a linked account, but generally you’ll just manually log in). Once signed in, you can stream Netflix through your console anytime. Just remember to select your profile after logging in if prompted.
  
• Set-Top Boxes & Cable TV Devices: Many cable boxes (like Xfinity X1, etc.) and satellite boxes have Netflix integrated. To log in on those, usually you go to the Netflix app within the device’s menu (often under Apps or On-Demand). When you open Netflix, it will prompt for sign-in just like any other device. You’ll use the box’s remote to enter your email and password. Some cable remotes even have a Netflix button – pressing it jumps straight to Netflix. Follow the login prompts (or code method if shown). Similarly, some Blu-ray players or smart home theater systems have Netflix apps – again, navigate to Netflix in their menu and sign in with your credentials when asked.
  
• Chromebook or Smart Displays: If you have a Chromebook or a device with a web browser but not a dedicated Netflix app, you can always use the web method. Just go to Netflix.com in the browser and log in with your email and password (like we described in the laptop section). On devices like Google Nest Hub (smart display) or other specialized screens that might not support Netflix, you might not be able to log in directly – those aren’t Netflix-compatible. But any officially supported device (see Netflix’s compatible devices list) will have a method to log in either via an app or browser.
  

No matter what device you’re using, the core idea is the same: open Netflix, find the sign-in screen, and enter your account info. Netflix’s interface might look a bit different from device to device, but they all ultimately ask for your account email/phone and password to log in. If the device is newer and typing is hard (like a TV), look out for alternative sign-in options like using a code or link – Netflix often provides these to make things easier.

A Note on Multiple Devices: You can log in to Netflix on multiple devices without extra fees (as long as they are all under your account). For example, you can be logged in on your phone, two TVs, and a laptop at the same time. Netflix doesn’t put a hard limit on the number of devices associated with your account – you can sign in on as many devices as you own. However, there is a limit to how many devices can stream simultaneously (play videos at the same time) under one account, based on your subscription plan. For instance, the Standard plan allows 2 streams at once, Premium allows 4, etc. So if you try to actually watch on too many devices simultaneously, Netflix might stop one stream. But purely being logged in on a device is fine. So feel free to log in on all your devices for convenience; just remember if family members are watching on several, you might hit the concurrent stream limit.

Remember to Log Out (if needed): If you’re logging in on a device that isn’t only for you (say, a friend’s device or a hotel smart TV), don’t forget to log out when you’re done watching. You can usually sign out from the Netflix app’s settings or profile menu on that device. This keeps your account secure.

Now you know how to log in on basically any device that supports Netflix! Next, let’s cover logging in when you don’t have or remember your password – Netflix has solutions for that too.

How to Log in to Netflix Without a Password (Using OTP or Code)?

Sometimes you might want to sign in to Netflix but you can’t recall your password, or maybe you just don’t want to type it out – especially on devices like a TV. Netflix offers a couple of convenient password-free login options to help you out. These include logging in with a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your email or phone, and logging in with a QR code (scanning from another logged-in device). These methods prove useful if you forget your password or want a faster way to authorize a new device.

Let’s break down the two main options for signing in to Netflix without directly entering your password:

Option A: Login with OTP (One-Time Passcode)

OTP login means Netflix will send a short code to your registered email or phone number which you can use to log in, instead of your password. It’s a bit like a verification code that proves it’s you. Here’s how to use this feature:

1. Go to the Netflix login screen on the device or browser you’re using. Instead of entering your password, look for an option like “Use a sign-in code”, “Need help?”, or “Forgot password?”.
   – On the Netflix website (browser), after clicking Sign In, you might see a link that says “Use a sign-in code” or an option under the password field that says “Forgot your password?”.
   – On the mobile app, you may see “Need help?” or a “Use a sign-in code” button. Netflix’s wording can vary, but essentially you’re looking to get a code sent to you.
   
2. Select the option to get a sign-in code.
   – If you chose “Forgot password,” Netflix will guide you to either reset your password or use a code. If “Use a sign-in code” is available, that’s exactly what we want – choose that.
   – Netflix will ask for the email address or phone number associated with your account (so it knows where to send the code). Enter your email or phone number. Make sure it’s the same one linked to your Netflix account.
   
3. Request the code.
   – Click or tap “Send Code” (or a similar button). Netflix will now send a one-time code to your email or as an SMS text message to your phone. The screen will usually tell you to check your email or phone for a 4-digit code.
   
4. Retrieve the code from Netflix in your email or phone messages.
   – Within seconds, you should receive a message from Netflix. For email, it will come to your inbox (from Netflix). For SMS, it will come as a text from Netflix. The message will contain a 4-digit code. (Example: “Your Netflix code is 4321”).
   – If you don’t see the email, check your Spam/Junk folder, just in case. If it’s a text and you didn’t receive it, ensure your phone has signal and that you entered the correct phone number. You can hit “Resend code” if needed.
   
5. Enter the 4-digit code on Netflix.
   – Go back to the Netflix app or website where it’s waiting for the code. Type in the code exactly as it appears. For example, if the code Netflix sent you is 4321, enter 4321.
   – Be aware that the code is time-sensitive – Netflix codes expire after about 15 minutes for security. So use it promptly. If it expired, you can always request a new one repeating the steps.
   
6. Access your account without a password.
   – After you enter the correct code, Netflix will log you into your account on that device. You have now signed in without needing to remember or enter your password! You should see your Netflix home screen or profile selection now.
   – This one-time code log in does not change your actual password. It’s just a temporary login. So your account password remains whatever it was; you just bypassed it this time with the code.
   

Using an OTP is extremely helpful if you forget your password or are having trouble typing it on a device. It’s essentially Netflix’s version of a “magic link” or temporary code login.

Tips for OTP Login:

• Ensure access to email/phone: Obviously, this method only works if you still have access to the email or phone number registered to your Netflix account. If you no longer use that email or phone and haven’t updated your Netflix account info, the code will go there and you won’t get it. In such a case, you might need to recover your account through Netflix support.
  
• Email vs. SMS: Netflix gives you the option of email or text if you have both on file. Choose whatever is more convenient at the moment. Text might be faster if you have your phone in hand.
  
• Didn’t receive code? If a few minutes pass and no code arrives, click Resend Code. Sometimes emails can be delayed or texts might not come through immediately. Also double-check the spelling of your email you entered, or the phone number (did you include country code if required, etc.?). Netflix’s code system is pretty reliable, so usually it arrives quickly.
  
• Use it soon: As mentioned, the code will expire (typically in 15 minutes). This is a security measure. If it expires, just request a new code. There’s no harm in doing so.
  
• After logging in: Since you bypassed the password this time, if you actually forgot your password, it’s a good idea to go into your Account Settings (on Netflix’s website) and update your password later so you do know it. But if you just used OTP for convenience, no need – you can continue using Netflix.
  
• Logging in on TV using email link: This OTP method is similar to that Send Sign-In Link we mentioned for TVs. In that case, Netflix emails you a link that automatically logs the TV in. Both are alternate ways to avoid typing a password.
  

Now, let’s look at another cool method – using a QR code to log in.

Option B: Login with QR Code

Netflix’s QR code login is a feature primarily designed to make signing in on TV or another device easier by using your phone’s camera. Essentially, instead of typing your credentials, you scan a code on one device using a phone that’s already logged in (or can log in). This links the devices. Here’s how to use a QR code to log in to Netflix:

1. Initiate Netflix on the device and look for a QR code.
   – This method usually comes up when you’re signing in on a TV or streaming device. For instance, you open Netflix on your smart TV or PlayStation, and on the sign-in page you see a big QR code along with instructions. It might say something like “Scan this QR code with your phone to sign in quickly.”
   – Note: If you’re on the Netflix website or mobile app, you typically won’t see a QR code login option. It’s mostly for TV and similar devices. So ensure the device you’re trying to log in on actually supports QR code login (many smart TVs do).
   
2. Use your smartphone’s camera to scan the QR code.
   – Grab your smartphone or tablet. Open the Camera app as if you’re going to take a photo. Point the camera at the QR code displayed on the TV (or device screen). Hold it steady so the camera can clearly see the QR code.
   – Most modern phones will automatically recognize a QR code through the camera and will pop up a notification or link on the screen. You might see a little banner that says “Open link (netflix.com) in browser” or something similar when it recognizes the code.
   – If your camera doesn’t automatically detect QR codes, you might need to use a QR scanning app (but most phones (iPhone and Android) do this natively now).
   
3. Tap the notification or link that appears on your phone.
   – Once your phone recognizes the QR code, it will likely prompt you with a link. This link is essentially a special Netflix login URL tied to that code. Tap it to proceed.
   – This will usually open a web browser on your phone (or possibly the Netflix app) to a page that wants to confirm the login.
   
4. Authenticate the login on your phone.
   – After scanning, your phone might say something like “Do you want to sign in to Netflix on [Device]?” For example, “Sign in to Netflix on Samsung TV?” with a button to confirm. This is to ensure that if your phone is already logged into Netflix, it’s okay to use that session to log the TV in.
   – If you are already logged in to Netflix on your phone’s browser or app, it might skip straight to a confirmation. You’d just approve it, and then the TV logs in.
   – If you are not logged in on your phone, the Netflix page may first ask you to log in on the phone (enter your email and password on the phone). Once you do, it will then proceed to log the TV in. Basically, you’re using the phone to do the heavy lifting of logging in, then linking that login to the TV via the QR code.
   
5. Watch the magic happen on the TV.
   – As soon as you confirm the QR link and authenticate on your phone, the device (TV) you were trying to log in should automatically log in. The QR code on the TV will disappear and you’ll see the Netflix home screen or profile screen loading up. You’ve successfully logged in without entering a password on the TV!
   – This process is essentially Netflix letting you “sign in using your phone”, which they advertise as a convenient option. The QR code was the bridge between the TV and your phone.
   
6. You’re in – select profile and enjoy.
   – Now use the TV’s remote (or device controller) to pick your profile and start streaming Netflix.
   

Tips for QR Code Login:

• Phone and TV need internet: Make sure both your phone and the device with the QR code (TV, console, etc.) are connected to the internet. The phone needs internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to communicate with Netflix, and the device obviously needs internet to sign in.
  
• Use the same Netflix account: The QR method assumes you’re going to use the phone that either is logged into your Netflix account or can log into it. If someone else scans it with their Netflix account, it would log in with their account instead. So use your own phone to scan your own login QR.
  
• Camera not scanning? If your phone isn’t detecting the QR code, you can try moving closer or further, or ensure the room isn’t too dark/glary. Also, on some phones you might need to enable QR code scanning in camera settings. If all else fails, you can use a third-party QR scanner app.
  
• Alternate method if QR fails: If the QR code isn’t working for some reason, remember you can always revert to entering a code manually (often there’s a code displayed along with the QR). Use the code with Netflix.com/activate as described in the Smart TV section above. The QR is essentially a shortcut to that process.
  
• Security: QR login is secure – the code is unique and tied to Netflix. Scanning it just takes you to Netflix’s site. As a rule, only scan QR codes that you trust (like ones Netflix itself shows you), to avoid phishing scams. Netflix’s QR code will always direct to a Netflix.com address.
  
• No password needed: This method doesn’t require your password on the TV side at all. And if your phone was already logged in, you didn’t need to enter it on the phone either. It’s a seamless way to authorize a new device.
  

Between OTP codes and QR codes, Netflix gives you flexibility to access your account even if you temporarily can’t recall your password or just want a faster login. These features are there to make your life easier and get you watching sooner!
