Not a lot you can do apart from having a difficult password that you do not use anywhere else, and following the tips here.

Sadly, Netflix do not support additional security such as two factor authentication, although they should send a code for some account changes.

The 2 main causes of this:

Weak or shared/compromised password.
Leaving a device logged in - e.g. on holiday, forgetting to log out of the hotel/apartment smart TV.
