Netflix Password Sharing Crackdown Goes Into Effect Next Month

Netflix is going to start cracking down on password sharing next month.  And this is how- They say "To ensure uninterrupted access to Netflix, connect to the Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days." This creates a trusted device so you can watch Netflix, even when you're away from your primary location."

If someone outside your household tries to use your account on a non-trusted device, Netflix will prompt users who try to sign into your account elsewhere to sign up for their own account instead and block their access until they do. But what if that someone is YOU.  You're traveling, and you want to open your account on a hotel TV, for instance? You’ll have to request a TEMPORARY CODE when you sign in.  It gives you access for seven consecutive days.

Do you share your account with others? How will you handle this change? Sadly people are so smart and quick to find work arounds that this Netflix crackdown may not last long, but at least their following through on what they said. This has been a long thing coming from the media streaming giant.
