James_Dean Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Quote Who Can Use a Netflix Account Now? Netflix accounts are still shareable, but only within one household. To ensure that your devices are associated with your primary location, Netflix is now asking users to connect to the Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days. Can You Still Share Netflix With Someone Who Doesn’t Live With You? No, accounts are only meant to be used within one household. 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. Netflix will NOT begin automatically charging account holders whose information is used outside of their homes. How Can You Prevent Netflix from Blocking Your Devices? Signing into home Wi-Fi at least once every 31 days on your devices will make them “trusted devices,” which Netflix will remember and leave unblocked. If your device has been blocked incorrectly, you’ll need to contact Netflix in order to get it unblocked. How Will Netflix Know if You’re Not in Your Home/Primary Location? Netflix uses information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device signed into your account is connected at your primary location. If your device is being used outside your home by someone you haven’t authorized, you can sign into your account and sign out on all other devices, then change your password. How Many Devices Will Netflix Let You Use Simultaneously in One Location? That all depends on which plan you’re signed up for. Netflix offers four distinct price tiers, and the number of simultaneous streams varies on which tier you subscribe to. Basic With Ads ($6.99 per Month) Basic ($9.99 per Month) Standard ($15.49 per Month) Premium ($19.99 per Month) 1 Device 1 Device 2 Devices 4 Devices These measures seem like cautious first steps to avoid a massive exodus of account-sharing users. If they do not meet Netflix’s expectations in curbing password sharing, harsher measures, such as charging users who continue to give out their login information, could follow. Netflix began testing methods to charge users $3 when someone outside the home accessed their account in several Latin American countries in 2022. When discussing Netflix’s plans to curb password sharing in mid-January, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said the company was seeking “thoughtful experimentation to let our members speak to us in terms of what set of solutions work for them.” Now that the first details regarding that experimentation are public, all that remains to be seen is how users respond.

schnetzka Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 This is troublesome for people who aren't home all the time. Think of all the people that travel, think of all the people who have more than one home base, I don't know what they were thinking with this decision.

Mordecai Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So what happens to people like me who have Netflix but rarely use it and cbf to log in once a month just to not get blocked? What about using VPNs to access other countries' content? Netflix are being greedy with this, can't wait till this change is rolled out and the backlash hits em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t do much to block mobile devices because you just need to visit your friend or family’s house once a month to login which is a pretty low threshold.. but I guess it’s a big deal for TVs because you can’t really lug a 50” over to your mom’s house every month to login.

VOSS Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It’s ridiculous that paying to view multiple screens at the same time limits you to devices under the same roof. And if you want to pay less for only one screen, you’re stuck with shitty SD quality… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contessa Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) This is dumb. If this is the way they wanna go about it, they should create a tier below Premium to allow households of two (young couples without kids) to have 4K HDR access with 2 screens. Why do they have to pay for 4 screens if only two people are allowed to watch on their account? Lol Better yet, let users customize their own access (screen and quality) so they're not having to pay for a ridiculous amount of money for higher picture quality for just 1 person, which will become more common under this rule.
