Kick Someone Off Your Hulu: Step-by-Step

This article explains exactly how to remove a person from your Hulu account, whether they are on your individual or shared plan. You will learn the precise steps in the Hulu app and website, plus important details about profiles, devices, and account sharing. By the end, you will know how to kick someone off your Hulu account and prevent them from getting back in.

Understanding Hulu Account Sharing

Hulu offers two main ways to share access: profiles and simultaneous streams. A profile is a personalized space with its own watch history and recommendations, but it is not a separate login. All profiles share the same account credentials. If you want to kick someone out, you need to either remove their profile (which only affects their viewing preferences, not their ability to log in) or change your account password (which revokes access for everyone, including yourself on all devices).

Hulu’s standard plan allows one simultaneous stream, while the ad-free plan allows two. The Live TV plan allows two simultaneous streams and unlimited screens at home. If you are sharing your password with someone outside your household, they count against these limits. Removing them requires a password change, not just deleting a profile.

How to Remove a Profile on Hulu

Removing a profile is the first step if you want to delete a specific person’s watch history and recommendations. This does not stop them from logging in with your password, but it clears their personal data from your account.

1. Log in to your Hulu account on the website (hulu.com) or in the mobile app.
2. Go to your profile icon in the top-right corner and select “Manage Profiles.”
3. Click the pencil icon on the profile you want to remove.
4. Scroll down and select “Delete Profile.”
5. Confirm the deletion. This cannot be undone.

You can have up to six profiles per account, so if you are at the limit, deleting one frees up a slot. Note that if you use Kids Profile, it will be deleted as well.

How to Change Your Hulu Password

Changing your password is the only way to fully kick someone off your Hulu account. When you change the password, all devices logged into your account are signed out. This includes your own TV, phone, and computer, so you will need to log back in on each of them.

1. Go to hulu.com and log in with your current credentials.
2. Click your name in the top-right corner and select “Account.”
3. Under “Account Settings,” click “Change Password.”
4. Enter your current password, then your new password twice.
5. Click “Save.” All devices will be signed out immediately.

After changing the password, you should also log out of all devices manually to be extra safe. Hulu does not have a “log out of all devices” button, but changing the password effectively does that. However, if someone has the old password saved on a device, they will be prompted to re-enter it and will be blocked.

How to Log Out of All Devices

If you want to ensure every device is signed out, you can do this manually on each device or use the “Log out of all devices” feature if available. Hulu’s website and app do not have a one-click “log out everywhere” option, but you can achieve the same result by changing your password. After the password change, each device will show an error when trying to stream, and the user will need to enter the new password.

For a more thorough approach, you can also clear your “Watch History” and “Recently Watched” lists. This does not affect access, but it removes traces of what was watched. Go to Account → Privacy and Settings → Clear Watch History.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

One common misconception is that deleting a profile kicks the person off the account. It does not. The person can still log in with your email and password and create a new profile. Another misconception is that Hulu has a family plan like Netflix. It does not. Hulu’s plans are individual, but you can share your password with anyone. There is no official way to add a “member” to your account.

Another issue is that if you are on a Hulu + Live TV plan, you may have a home location set. This determines your local channels. If the person you are kicking out was using your account from a different location, they may have changed your home location. You can update your home location under Account → Settings → Home Location, but you can only change it four times per year.

Alternatives to Kicking Someone Off

Instead of kicking someone off entirely, you might consider these options:

• Create a separate profile – If you just want to separate watch history, create a new profile for yourself and delete the old one.
• Downgrade your plan – If you are paying for extra simultaneous streams for someone else, downgrade to the basic plan to limit concurrent use.
• Use a different streaming service – Some services like Netflix offer paid sharing, but Hulu does not. If sharing is a problem, consider switching.

If the person is using your account without permission, the only real fix is changing your password and not sharing it again. Be aware that if they have access to your email, they could reset the password themselves, so secure your email account first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I kick someone off without changing the password?

No. The only way to revoke access is to change your password. Deleting a profile does not stop them from logging in. If you want to avoid changing your password, you could try logging out of all devices, but they would still be able to log back in with the same password.

Will changing my password sign me out of my TV?

Yes, changing your password signs out every device, including your own. You will need to log back in on each device with the new password. This is a minor inconvenience but ensures the other person is locked out.

How many devices can be logged into Hulu at once?

Hulu does not limit the number of devices that can be logged in, but it limits simultaneous streams. The basic plan allows one stream at a time, the ad-free plan allows two, and the Live TV plan allows two streams at home plus unlimited on your home network. If someone is streaming, you may get an error saying too many streams are active.

Does Hulu have a family plan?

No, Hulu does not offer a family plan. You can create up to six profiles on one account, but all profiles share the same login credentials. There is no way to give someone their own login without sharing your password.

What if the person I kicked off has my password saved on their device?

After you change your password, their saved password will no longer work. They will be prompted to enter the new password and will be unable to access the account. If they have your email password, they could potentially reset your Hulu password, so secure your email first.

Can I see who is using my Hulu account?

Hulu does not provide a list of devices or locations that have accessed your account. You can see your watch history, but that only shows what was watched, not who watched it. The only way to know for sure is to change your password and see if anyone complains.
