Popular Streaming platform Netflix to bring a new feature to stop password sharing among friends
Netflix is ready to come between friends who share passwords amongst themselves. They are adding a new feature that will make people pay for sharing passwords with others.
Many reports came stating that Netflix is not ok with users sharing their passwords and accounts with friends all over the place. The platform is now testing a new way to end the password sharing issue which has been free all this time.
Netflix has launched an “add extra member” option for users in Costa Rica, Chile, and Peru (for starters). If users are sharing passwords with others not living in their homes, the people using the password/account will have to pay to use your Netflix account.
The Platform has also announced that it is going to bring in a similar “add a home” or “add extra member” feature in other regions soon. The “add a home” feature is going to be tested in countries like the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Argentina.
Some countries are going to see this new “Add a home” button on their Netflix accounts soon. With this feature rolling in users will have to create a home where they can add other users living in the same house. This will allow all the people in that ‘home’ to access Netflix on any device. These members will also be able to access Netflix while travelling.
Now if you need to allow someone else to use your Netflix account in another you will have to pay. Adding a new home costs around 219 pesos (Rs 320 approx) in Argentina and $2.99 (Rs 240 approx) in other regions this feature is being tested in.
