How to Transfer Your Netflix Profile to a New Account
If you are currently watching your favorite episodes on someone else's account, you should transfer your profile to your own account to avoid losing your recommendations, watchlist, and other settings.
In this guide, first shared by CNET, we will show you how to enable Netflix's Transfer Profile feature and how to transfer your existing profile to a separate account.

Then, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap Turn on profile transfers. This will take you to the official profile transfer page, where you can select Allow.

The Transfer Profile process will begin, giving you a quick summary of what this feature does.
Take Note
Your recommendations, viewing history, saved games, settings, My List, and other information will be transferred to a different account throughout the transfer process. It will additionally create a backup of your original account's profile.
Click the Next button and provide your new account's credentials. Verify your email address and follow the prompts to complete your new account setup. After that, your profile will be transferred, and you will have immediate access to your new Netflix account. Simple as that.
