Netflix indicated that it will block devices that do not connect to the same network Wi-Fi log into the same account.

The measure will go into effect in March and has the sole purpose of preventing users from sharing their password with people who don’t live in the same home.

Goodbye Shared Accounts

It is still unknown how Netflix he was going to identify users who use his personal account.

Now, according to the update of the platform help center, the service will check whether the devices from which users connect to the account are connected to the same network. Wi-Fi and saw at least one directory name from there. If this has not happened in the last 31 days, access will be blocked.

“People who are not members of your family will need to use their own account to view Netflix”, it says.

To avoid punishment, users must be logged into the same network Wi-Fi from a website or mobile app.

another mechanism

Except WiFi, Netflix it will also periodically check users’ IP addresses to know where each profile is connecting from.

It is expected that these measures will begin to spread to the whole world from March-April of this very 2023.

Last year Netflix began testing ways to “monetize account sharing” after reporting the biggest loss of subscribers in a decade. In addition to the password exchange fee, Netflix it has also launched cheaper ad-supported subscriptions, hoping to encourage more people to pay if they don’t have to pay as much.

Although our terms of use restrict the use Netflix to a household, we know this is a change for members who share their password with other households. Therefore, these participants will have the opportunity to pay a little more if they want to share the password with people who do not live with them, ”the streaming service said in a message.
