When I click on the change password link it brings up a pretty official looking Netflix page, but it doesn't ask for my old password, just wants me to enter a new one twice.

My first thought was that Netflix was just trying to get users to change their passwords to help eliminate friends and family users, but now I'm not sure. I think I'll just log into my account and change my password, not using the email link.

Anyone else seeing any similar activity?

If you're getting emails like this from anyone, never click the link in the email unless you are absolutely positive that the email and link are authentic. Scammers can make emails and links look pretty authentic. Instead, go to the website directly. Once you've logged into netflix.com, then in the top right is your profile. Click and go to "account". Under account, go to "Security & Privacy" where you can see info about what devices are using your account.
