There is nothing quite as thrilling as logging into your Netflix account on a new device.

Airbnb has a smart TV? Log me the heck in. Friend doesn't have an account and I need to yell about Bridgerton? PASS THE REMOTE, BABY. Add it to the iPad, the phone, the game systems... but while taking the joy of Netflix everywhere is a blessing for which we are grateful, there comes a time when everyone must log out to protect their account. That can be a little confusing.

Here's how to do it no matter which device you're using.

Netflix has hidden the sign out option under "Get Help" on most devices because only under extreme stress would someone ever want to disconnect their Netflix account from a TV, right? Simply scroll down to "Get Help" on any profile and then "Sign Out of Netflix." If you click on your profile thumb repeatedly out of frustration, you are not alone.

It's a little less dramatic on the Apple TV side, where recent models allow you to sign out under "Settings." Just scroll down the left side menu on any profile and click through. Makes sense!

For PlayStation, select "O" on your controller, then the gear icon. You'll have the option to sign out there.

It's fine, you'll be back.
