Sign out of Netflix directly from your Samsung TV settings
To sign out of Netflix on a Samsung TV, open the Netflix app, go to the menu, find the account or settings option, and select sign out. The exact steps depend on your TV model and Netflix app version, but the sign-out button is always in the app itself — you do not need to restart the TV or change any system settings.
Netflix does not store your password on the TV after you sign out. The next person who opens Netflix will see the login screen and will need your email and password to access the account. If you want to prevent someone from logging back in without permission, change your Netflix password from a phone, computer, or tablet after you sign out on the TV.
Key Takeaways
- Open Netflix on your Samsung TV, press the menu button on your remote, and look for Account, Settings, or Profile options to find the sign-out button.
- Signing out of Netflix on the TV does not delete the app or affect other apps on your TV.
- If you cannot find a sign-out option in the Netflix app, you can remove the app entirely from your TV and reinstall it to force a new login.
- Changing your Netflix password from another device after signing out prevents anyone from logging back in with the old password.
- Some Samsung TV models allow you to manage app accounts through the TV's system settings, but Netflix sign-out is faster through the app itself.
Step-by-step sign-out on Samsung TV models
Start by opening the Netflix app on your Samsung TV. Use your remote to navigate to the top of the screen or the side menu — the exact location varies by TV model and app version. Look for three horizontal lines (a menu icon), a gear icon (settings), or your profile picture in the corner.
Once you find the menu, scroll down to find Account, Settings, Profile, or Sign Out. Press enter or select on your remote. If you see a profile list, select your profile first, then look for Account or Settings below it. The sign-out button should appear on this screen. Select it and confirm when the TV asks if you are sure.
After you sign out, the Netflix app will return to the login screen. You can close the app or leave it open — either way, the next login will require an email address and password.
What to do if you cannot find the sign-out button
Some older Samsung TV models or outdated Netflix app versions do not display a visible sign-out option. If you have looked through Account and Settings and found nothing, the fastest solution is to remove the Netflix app from your TV and reinstall it.
To remove the app, go to your Samsung TV's home screen, highlight the Netflix app, press and hold the select button on your remote, and choose Delete or Remove. Then go to the Samsung App Store (or the app store built into your TV), search for Netflix, and reinstall it. When you open it again, you will see the login screen.
Reinstalling takes about two minutes and works on all Samsung TV models. It does not affect any other apps or settings on your TV.
Change your Netflix password after signing out
Signing out of the Netflix app on your TV removes your account from that device, but it does not change your password. If you are concerned that someone else might log back in, change your Netflix password from a phone, computer, or tablet.
Go to netflix.com, sign in with your email and password, click your profile icon in the top right, select Account, and choose Change Password. Enter your current password and then create a new one. This new password will be required the next time anyone tries to log in on any device, including your Samsung TV.
Sign out of Netflix on multiple Samsung TVs at once
If you have Netflix on more than one Samsung TV in your home, you can sign out of all of them from your Netflix account settings on a computer or phone. This is faster than going to each TV individually.
On a computer, go to netflix.com, sign in, click your profile icon, select Account, scroll down to Settings, and look for Sign Out of All Devices or Manage Access and Devices. Click that option and confirm. Netflix will sign you out of the app on every device connected to your account, including all your Samsung TVs. You will need to log back in on any TV you want to use.
Manage multiple profiles on one Samsung TV
If your Netflix account has multiple profiles and you want to sign out of just one profile without signing out of the entire account, open Netflix and select the profile you want to remove. Go to Account or Settings, and look for Remove Profile or Delete Profile. This removes that profile from the TV but keeps your account and other profiles active.
The main account holder can always add the profile back later from a computer or phone. Removing a profile from the TV does not delete it from your Netflix account — it only removes it from that specific device.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out of Netflix on your Samsung TV, the app will no longer show your watch history, recommendations, or saved shows. The next person to open Netflix will see a blank login screen. They cannot access your account, see your passwords, or view anything you watched unless they know your Netflix email and password.
Your watch history and saved shows remain in your Netflix account on other devices. If you sign back in on the TV later using the same email and password, your history and recommendations will reappear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will signing out of Netflix delete the app from my Samsung TV?
No. Signing out only removes your account from the app. The Netflix app stays on your TV, and you can sign back in anytime. If you want to remove the app entirely, you must delete it separately through your TV's app management settings.
Can I sign out of Netflix on my TV without a remote?
You need a remote or a compatible phone app that controls your Samsung TV to navigate the Netflix menu and select sign out. If your remote is lost, you can use the SmartThings app on a smartphone to control your TV remotely, or purchase a replacement remote for your TV model.
What if I forgot my Netflix password and cannot sign back in?
Go to netflix.com on a computer or phone, click Forgot Password, and enter your email address. Netflix will send a password reset link to your email. Create a new password, and then use it to sign back in on your Samsung TV.
Does signing out of Netflix on my TV sign me out on other devices?
No. Signing out on your Samsung TV only affects that TV. You will remain signed in on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other devices. If you want to sign out everywhere at once, use the Manage Access and Devices option in your Netflix account settings on a computer.
Can I sign out of Netflix without going into the app?
Not directly. Netflix sign-out is only available inside the Netflix app itself. You cannot sign out through your Samsung TV's system settings. The only alternative is to delete and reinstall the Netflix app, which forces a new login the next time you open it.
