A common trend among Netflix subscribers is to share their passwords with friends and family that wish to stream movies and series on the platform. Netflix has had no issue with that all along.

Netflix product innovation director Chengyi Long explained in a blog post;

“We recognize that people have many entertainment choices, so we want to ensure any new features are flexible and useful for members, whose subscriptions fund all our great TV and films,”

Don’t panic just yet the idea will first be implemented in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru over the coming weeks and the results will determine when and how it will be implemented in other areas. Netflix will add an option to add as many as two people to “sub-accounts” at a monthly fee of $2 to $3.

Netflix said it will allow people already sharing accounts to transfer profiles and viewing history information to new sub-accounts. Netflix has been heading in this direction for a while now and this could either encourage people to create their own accounts or use other streaming platforms.

The days of sharing your Netflix password with your family, friends and ex’s might be a thing of the past, if Netflix’s new feature gets the nod.

According to reports the streaming giant is in the process of testing out a new feature which blocks other users from utilising a password.  Some users are experiencing a pop up while accessing their friends/family member’s Netflix accounts.

A message (above) which reads, “If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching.”

Netflix is obviously tightening the screws to improve it’s earnings, the streaming giant managed to grow due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
