Key notes
Many readers have asked us if HBO Max notifies you when someone logs in, and the answer is Yes. HBO Max sends email notifications when someone is trying or has logged in, especially from a new device. You will also get details about the IP address, device/browser used, and location.
Can you see who’s logged into your HBO account? Yes, you can. To see who is logged into your HBO account, access that account and go to Managed Devices. You will see a list of devices that use that account. Read below for detailed instructions.
Is HBO Max sending notifications when logging in on a new device?
As highlighted above, HBO Max will send you notifications and e-mails with unauthorized login attempts from new devices, along with special offers, product updates, the latest shows, or new movies. However, if a device or browser has been authorized or recognized, you won’t get any login notifications from them.
1. How do I check who is logged into my HBO Max account?

1.2 On a mobile device
HBO Max allows only 3 simultaneous streams so if more devices are trying to use the streaming services, you will get left out on yours. This solution will allow you to remove one or more devices or sign them off so you can enjoy the content on the current devices.
IfHDR is not working on HBO Max, the highlighted guide will help you fix the problem.

3. How can I customize HBO Max Account Notifications?
Yeah, we know that by turning on the app notifications, you will also get information about shows, programs, etc. However, to limit the content of the notifications, you can turn off the HBO Max Newsletter feature if you don’t need it. However, you can only do that on mobile devices and not on the Kid profiles.
Unfortunately, there is no way of setting the frequency of notifications or choosing which types of notifications you receive. You may only change the push or text notifications on your mobile device through the usual notification settings on your mobile.
What are the benefits of Account Notifications?
The bottom line is that we encourage you to keep the HBO Max notifications on because you will have some obvious benefits in keeping your account secure:
