Privacy is important, should be respected, and is everyone’s right. It must be within everyone’s reach. Netflix may put a ban on password sharing, till then, you need to keep your Netflix profile locked so that others (friends, family members, partners) cannot mess up your watch history or peek into your privacy. If you want to keep your watch history and watchlist private, I recommend turning on the Netflix profile lock immediately.
