2019-3-13 I’m using Netflix 5.3.1 APK and am not able to log in. It keeps saying the credentials are invalid. I know they work as I am able to log out and in on my iPad without issue. Is there anything I can do to get Netflix working? I’ve rebooted the boxes. I’ve reinstalled 5.3.1 on one of the boxes and it didn’t make any difference. Sign out of Netflix. While in the Netflix app, tap the Menu button in the upper left corner or the More button in the lower right corner. Scroll down and select Sign Out. Confirm that you want to sign out. Once you have signed out, sign back in and try Netflix again.
