Jellyfin allows you to hide any profile from the login screen. If you hide them all, every user would have to manually login (username+password). That's not quite the Netflix-like experience where you click your profile, but it would at least hide all the users from other households (but also your own).

Yeah I understand that, I've done a lot of research into it and not got any solution

Most people aren't willing to type out a username and password just to use their profile. I want the login to be one time, and just their profiles to show up. And every household has their own set of profiles

Right now, I just have added one person from each household and they all share that same profile. I've added them to my Plex home so they get skip intro and whatever other Plex pass benefit. The issue with this, is that everyone shares a single profile per household (apart from my family) and we're all lumped together in one screen
