Netflix's Password-Sharing Crackdown Could Start Any Day: What to Know

Summary by Ground News

Netflix has been saying that it wants to stop users from sharing their passwords. This is because, as the company sees things, these sharers are undermining its ability to invest in its platform and content. On January 27, we shared an explanation of how Netflix will stop you from sharing passwords. If they are a household then they can share an account, however, if Netflix thinks the people don't live together then it will periodically ask users who may not be in the household to verify their device. If you went past this deadline then you would be locked out, and could only regain access to Netflix by using a temporary seven-day code or by signing up for a new account.
