Netflix is now going to put brakes on the funds of account one, user many. There are many users around the world who take a subscription to Netflix and share the password with their friends and family members, so that everyone can enjoy Netflix content. This is a profitable deal for the users, but the company is suffering a lot from it. Keeping this in mind, Netflix is now considering turning off password sharing.
Passwords can be shared at one location
The company is also doing some tests to prevent password sharing. It is worth noting that now users may also have to pay money to the company to share the password. The company will give the option of sharing the password to the users living in one house (one location). At the same time, users will have to pay money to run Netflix from the login details of the primary account at some other place outside the house.

Testing going on since last year
Last year also the company was testing this feature. During this, a message related to this was also displayed on the devices of the users. It was written in this message that if you do not live with the owner of the account, then you will have to create your own Netflix account. The company’s effort is to increase its business profit with new changes so that it can better invest in new series and films.
‘Necessary for funding big shows and films’
Chenghai Long, the company’s director of product innovation, said in a blog post, “We understand that users have many options for entertainment. That is why it is our endeavor that any new feature coming to Netflix should be convenient and useful for the users. Also, it is undeniable that we fund our big TV shows and movies with subscription money. The company said that it is exploring ways with the help of which more than one user can use one account by paying a little extra money.
Will have to pay 2 to 3 dollars every month
The feature that puts a brake on password sharing is being tested in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru. In the coming weeks, users in these countries will get the facility to add two extra users to the sub-account. For this, the company will charge 2 to 3 dollars every month. The company is going to roll out the new feature for its Standard and Premium plans.
