Netflix penalizes password sharers

According to Forbes, Starting in 2023, Netflix will ask those who share passwords to pay a little extra—the streaming platform has already tested this as a $3 add-on in some countries. However, it’s possible Netflix could simply force people to sign up as a second account for a slightly lower-priced subscription.

Netflix password sharing is a common thing but it has been realized that it's no longer a good idea for a number of reasons. Amid falling profits in the previous year and declining subscriber numbers, the popular streaming service is about to implement a crackdown on sharing passwords outside of your household, according to reports.

 In the previous year, Netflix announced that it would charge extra fees for people who share their housemates' passwords to watch movies and other services offered by this site while they don't live in the same house.  Initially, this activity started in South America.

 Netflix announced that the reason for this restriction is sharing accounts between households who don't even live together which is increasingly occurring nowadays. It is killing its long-term investment and overall performance.  A Netflix subscriber can give their account and password to others and they can watch videos for free.

 Sharing the password will be tolerated to only people who live together, and Netflix plans to collect vast amounts of user data and password sharing can be detected via IP addresses, device IDs and account activity. When Netflix does start to crack down on password sharing, it will be able to tell if you try to carry on doing so. 
 
Until now, it has not been announced the real amount that will be charged to those who share the secret number while they do not live in the same house, but it was said that will be between 3.50$ and 4$.  It is said that this fee will be paid by the account owner times the number of people whom he shared.
