On Netflix's standard $13.99 plan, for example, a maximum of two screens can be used to watch content at the same time. If you've got more than two people trying to watch on their TV or mobile device, then someone is going to be blocked from watching — and that would really suck if that was you, the person paying for the account.
So, in order to protect yourself and your ability to watch whatever you want, whenever you want, here's how to check and see who has got access to your Netflix account:

From here, you can easily tell if someone other than you is using your account. For example, is there a type of device that does not match the one you use to watch Netflix? Does one of the locations or IP addresses not match your home or anywhere that you watch Netflix? Then obviously that's someone else who's logging into your account!
Obviously, if there are devices or locations you don't recognize accessing your account, you want to remove them. But even if you know who else has access to your account and are fine with that now, there may come a time where you're not.
