Netflix will now let you add passwords on individual profiles, block specific titles by name

Adding a new parental control to the platform, Netflix is rolling out a new feature that will let you add a PIN to individual profiles. The new feature comes as part of a wider update and should be available for users worldwide by the end of this week.

This is a great way of keeping out kids from your profile, or even your friends who have been piggybacking your account (at least you can keep them out of your profile).

The platform also now lets you block specific titles by name.
