Letterboxd Multiple Accounts Rules: What the Terms of Use and Community Policy Say

What do Letterboxd's rules say about multiple accounts? #

According to Letterboxd's Terms of Use (last updated December 2025, read 3 October 2026), you must not use the service, or encourage others to use it, to "create multiple accounts". It is one entry in the Prohibited conduct section, in a sentence that also lists misrepresenting your identity, deceiving other users, disrupting discussions, working around account blocks, gaming the service's mechanics, altering consensus, joining orchestrated attacks on films or filmmakers, posting spam and breaching the community policy.

Two things are missing. The Terms state no number of accounts, so there is no allowance of one, two or five. And they describe no exception for a household, a club or an organisation. Letterboxd's Community Policy page, which the Terms point to, does not mention multiple accounts either; what it says is that a member who does not abide by the Terms may have the account terminated or suspended. Using browser profiles (what a browser profile is) or any other tool changes nothing about what the Terms permit.

The rules that matter when you run more than one login #

The account-security section adds a warning that matters for shared logins: where local law allows, a member may be liable for losses arising from someone else using the account because of the member's conduct, even after reporting it. A shared password is a risk the Terms place on the account holder.

What happens if Letterboxd thinks a rule was broken? #

The Terms (section 21, Termination or suspension of accounts) let Letterboxd suspend, limit or terminate an account, and a member's access to the service, whatever the reason and whether or not it warns the member first. The grounds it names include a breach of a material term as Letterboxd judges it, and urgent security, technical or legal needs. Letterboxd says that, where it can, it will tell the member and explain its reasons, except when it has to act at once to obey the law or protect the service. The same section adds that the member can appeal, or contact Customer Support to ask for clarification. Under section 27, a member can close an account in Settings on the website or in the apps.

The Community Policy repeats that an account may be terminated or suspended for not abiding by the Terms, and says Letterboxd may consider a member's behaviour away from the site when moderating. For removed content, the Help Center says moderators can misread intent, asks members who think a removal was a mistake to contact support with the details, and says support will explain whether changes might lead to reinstatement.

If you receive a warning, a restriction or a suspension:

1. Read the message and note what Letterboxd says it is based on.
2. Contact Customer Support through the Contact page with your username, the email address on the account and the facts as you see them.
3. Use the appeal route the Terms describe rather than starting again.
4. Do not open another account. Working around account blocks is listed as prohibited conduct, and a new account would also raise the multiple-accounts rule.

What the rules leave unanswered #

• Households. The pages say nothing specific about a family or flatmates sharing a computer. One account per person is the plain reading of the rule, not a statement from Letterboxd.
• Organisations. The Terms do not discuss them. Letterboxd's documented route is the HQ tier for studios, distributors, festivals, theaters, podcasts and other film-related entities, offered by enquiry; see Letterboxd HQ accounts and team access.
• A second account for another purpose. The only wording on the subject is the prohibition above. Ask Letterboxd before acting.
• What happens to content after termination. The termination sections read say that access ends and say nothing further about reviews and lists.

For a different public name, the Help Center offers username changes instead of a second account: free members at most once a year, Pro subscribers or above once every 30 days.

Staying inside the rules: a checklist #

• One account per person, opened with accurate details, by someone aged 16 or over.
• Never hand over a password. Use a unique, complex one and switch on two-factor authentication.
• No bots, scripts or scrapers against the site. For a specific project, Letterboxd says you may apply for beta access to its private API.
• No bulk following or liking to lift an account's popularity.
• Organisations ask Letterboxd about an HQ account rather than sharing a personal login.
• Keep a note of each account's username and email address, so that you can prove ownership if you ever contact support. If you also need to keep sign-ins apart on a shared computer, see Letterboxd logins and browser profiles, and for sign-in problems see why Letterboxd keeps logging you out.

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. It does not alter anything in Letterboxd's Terms, including the rule on multiple accounts and the rule on sharing passwords. Use only accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Letterboxd's rules. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Letterboxd.
