Netflix bans password-sharing in its terms and conditions but hasn't enforced the rule much in the past. Now, the company is taking stronger action.
"We've always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account, with features like separate profiles and multiple streams in our Standard and Premium plans," Netflixin a blog post Wednesday."While these have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared. As a result, accounts are being shared between households — impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.
Through the test, Netflix will start letting Standard and Premium plan customers add accounts for up to two people they don't live with, for an extra monthly charge. These Extra Members will have their own profiles, personalised recommendations, and login and password.
