On Thursday, September 10, 2026 (local time), YouTube CEO Neal Mohan (@nealmohan) announced the rollout of the account lock feature to all users worldwide, which allows users to lock their “YouTube” account with a 4-digit code when sharing “Google TV” or smart TVs among multiple users.
The account lock feature for “YouTube” on “Google TV” and smart TVs is useful when you don’t want others to see your watch history and other activity. By setting a 4-digit code in advance, you can ensure that only you can log into your “YouTube” account and enjoy videos.
In the unlikely event that you forget your 4-digit code, you can still turn off the account lock by logging in using your Google account credentials.
