The app opens up and allows me to enter my log in information. Each time I enter my email and password I get a message regarding "there was an error processing your request and that the login information does not match" I have confirmed the login information on my compute and it still won't accept it
 


Open the Netflix app and use the arrow buttons on your remote in the following sequence: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, UP, UP, UP
It should take you to a menu. Choose SIGN OUT and then sign back in again. I think it does this because you aren't actually signed out of the app but some glitch prevents you from accessing it. Hope that helps! :)
 


You are a genius, Brooklynn114. I had this same problem and it worked.
 


- Oh My GAWD thank you!
That solved the problem for me.
 


Thank you sooo much!! Huge help!!!

 


This worked for me! Thank You!!!!
 


i thought this was a joke. sincerely.
so much so that i went back to the app and didn't try this right away... but it's real lol
i did this button sequence while on the password entry screen and it took me to a separate menu with several options, including a log out option.

thanks so much!
 



This crazy "up up ..." Sequence actually works :) haha. Thanks so much
 


I actually had to create an account here just to upvote your answer and say THANK YOU. I was thinking it was a troll comment but thought "What do I have to lose to try it?". Tried it, and a few seconds later a menu popped up.
Once again, thank you.
 


This is a perfect solution for this issue. Thank you!!!
 
OMG!!
It really worked. I too created an account to let you know my Netflix issue was solved. My 13 year old thought I was nuts as I
kept reading the arrow keys to use....

Thank you.....
 


Yeah I honestly thought this was an elaborate troll, but this actually did fix the problem on my Vizio Smart TV Netflix app. Thanks!
 


You sir are a wizard of the highest order. Who knew Netflix had a video game cheat sequence! I too thought this was a joke ha ha. Amazingly it fixed it straight away!
