Can You Have Two Letterboxd Accounts? What the Terms Say About Using Several on One Computer

Can you have two Letterboxd accounts? #

Letterboxd's Terms of Use list creating multiple accounts as prohibited conduct. According to the Terms (last updated December 2025, read 3 October 2026), you must not use the service, or encourage others to use it, to "create multiple accounts". That phrase sits in one sentence with misrepresenting your identity, deceiving other users, working around account blocks and posting spam. The sentence names no number, so there is no stated limit of two or three, and it describes no exception for a household, a club or a company.

So the practical answer is one account per person. This guide does not describe ways to run extra accounts for yourself. It explains what Letterboxd documents about signing in, how separate people who each own an account can share one computer, and what to do with an old account. Use only accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Letterboxd's rules; the full list is in Letterboxd's rules on multiple accounts.

What does Letterboxd document about signing in? #

The Letterboxd pages read on 3 October 2026 describe a plain sign-in model, and none of them mentions switching between accounts.

On a desktop computer that means the Letterboxd website in an ordinary browser, so what the browser stores matters.

Joint accounts, couples and flatmates #

People do search for a joint or shared Letterboxd account. The Terms' account-security section tells each member to keep their password to themselves, and the Help Center uses the phrase share my account to mean sharing your public profile link or QR code, not login details. Two people who want to do things together can each keep their own account. The Help Center documents one way: open the other member's watchlist and filter by In your watchlist or Hide watched films. Teams and organisations are a different case, covered in Letterboxd HQ accounts and team access.

What happens when two people use one browser? #

A browser profile stores its own cookies, saved passwords, history and settings. Chrome's help says profiles keep that information separate, and the Chromium documentation lists cookies among the data kept in a profile's own folder. Because Letterboxd relies on cookies to keep you signed in, a sign-in lives in the profile where it was made.

Two people who share one profile therefore share one store of sign-in data and one list of saved passwords. The simpler arrangement is one profile per person: each person signs in once, to their own account, in their own profile. Steps are in separating Letterboxd logins with browser profiles, and the idea is explained in what a browser profile is.

Which situation are you in? #

What if you already have two accounts? #

Be straightforward with Letterboxd. The pages read describe no tool for merging accounts, and the Terms send questions about themselves to the Contact page, so write there before you act if you are unsure whether your situation counts. If you decide to close one account, use the account export in Settings first; it produces a ZIP file of CSV documents that includes deleted content. Deactivation can be reversed with the emailed link; once permanent deletion has happened, neither you nor support can bring the account back.

If it does not work #

• You keep being signed out. Read why Letterboxd keeps logging you out.
• An account is suspended or limited. The Terms let Letterboxd do this whether or not it warns you first, say it gives notice and reasons where practicable, and say you can appeal or contact Customer Support. Use that route. Do not open a new account to get round it: working around account blocks is itself listed as prohibited conduct.
• You are unsure what counts. Ask Letterboxd through the Contact page before acting.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Each profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so accounts you manage can stay signed in side by side without signing each other out. Profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk, and profile data stays on your own computer. For Letterboxd, that suits separate people or authorised team members who each use their own account; it does not change Letterboxd's rules, including the one on multiple accounts. Use only accounts you own or are authorised to manage. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Letterboxd.
