Netflix Cracks Down on Password Sharing With New Streaming Test
Netflix Cracking Down on Password Sharing The folks at Netflix are starting to make a bigger effort at stopping people from sharing password accounts across devices.
No more you the real MVP comments to whoever always comes up big by letting you have that password for the free. Netflix has figured it out and they are on to us all.
Lately, Netflix users who use an account of a person not living with the owner of the account a little more than often are starting to get messages asking to sign up for a “free trial” of the service if you can’t verify a code.
If the account can’t be verified, the user will have to sign up for a 30-day free trial. Right now the test is only showing up on TV devices connected to the same account.
If you watch on a phone or laptop you’re good for now. TV screens are the ones not surviving the Free password hook up.
Do you give out your streaming platform password to friends and family? Do you think there should be a limit if you’re paying for it?
