In some instances – like on an iPad – setting up Netflix is as simple as signing into your account with a username and password. Other times you’ll find yourself staring at a screen with a random sequence of numbers and letters – otherwise known as an activation code – and instructions to visit Netflix on your computer. You’re most likely to encounter such a screen when connecting a Wi-Fi enabled Blu-ray player or TV to your Netflix account. Here’s what to do when presented with a Netflix activation code: A few seconds later your device should refresh and bring up your Netflix account. While the extra steps with a secondary device might seem annoying, keep in mind that you’ll never have to enter a username and password on this device – so that’s a big convenience. Happy streaming!
