Now, Netflix is shifting from seemingly encouraging customers to share their account passwords — reminiscent of tweeting “Love is sharing a password” six years in the past — to cracking down on those that share their Netflix accounts.

Netflix had 230.75 million subscribers worldwide on the finish of the fourth quarter, however the firm believes one other 100 million individuals are utilizing Netflix by way of shared login data.

“To ensure that your devices are associated with your primary location, connect to the Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days,” reads Netflix’s FAQ web page.

This ought to be certain that individuals who reside outdoors of the account holder’s main handle can’t use the account holder’s Netflix login data to stream from elsewhere.

The streaming large will have the ability to confirm the principle account holder via an IP handle (aka the sequence of numbers that determine any machine on a community), and never geographical location, a Netflix spokesperson advised MarketWatch. That’s partly as a result of enforcement based mostly on the geographical location of the principle account would run into issues if a person tried to make use of their very own Netflix account whereas away from residence on a cellular machine, like a telephone or laptop computer.

So what if you happen to’re touring and wish to use your account in a special location?

Account holders can request a momentary code that lasts for 7 consecutive days that can enable them to view Netflix on a tool not related to their regular handle.

Other login makes an attempt from individuals outdoors the first handle “may be blocked from watching Netflix,” the firm’s web site reads.

Netflix wouldn’t share specifics about its plan to curb U.S. password sharing with MarketWatch, reminiscent of whether or not it will contemplate implementing any of those new password-sharing options utilized in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, saying it requires a “nuanced” strategy. But a spokesperson famous that, “we’ve done it in the other three countries, of course we are going to take specific learnings from those three countries and apply it to other countries.”

And whereas the U.S. Netflix phrases of service at present signifies that an account “may not be shared with individuals beyond your household,” the corporate admitted to MarketWatch that it doesn’t actually implement the coverage outdoors of dangerous actors who’ve tried to use the service by reselling login data, for instance.
