STREAMING

Sharing a password will result in a fine for the user

Netflix is undoubtedly one of the most popular online video streaming services in the world. At the end of last year, it was already used by more than 230 million fans of movies and series, which is four percent more than in the same period of 2022. This is not surprising, since the novelty of the series is how a bid . However, as not everyone is willing to pay a monthly Netflix subscription, it often happens that users share their usernames and passwords with others, which is obviously not safe and in accordance with the rules of the Netflix company.

The Netflix company introduced a simple, new and “official” way to share your subscription to the popular service with your friends or acquaintances some time ago. No password or computer screen sharing. Netflix introduced this mode to prevent users from simply sharing their user password. When that didn't catch on, the streaming video provider announced stricter measures against users swapping passwords.

The new rules for sharing access passwords will come into force by the end of March this year. Immediately after that, of course, there will be a punishment for disobedient users. That is, Netflix will punish user account sharing with an “addition” to the user's monthly subscription. This should vary between three and four euros.

Users will only be able to avoid these costs by using the user profile transfer option. The new option is suitable for those who create a new user account of their own, but do not want to lose the user profile used in the context of another user account. A new option called “Profile Transfer” really ensures that the user doesn't miss out on anything when re-registering. Downloading a user profile is easy, fast and completely free.
