Netflix new rules in India: password sharing ends

Netflix on Thursday announced that it is bringing additional restrictions on account and password sharing in India. The streaming service giant has been cracking down on password sharing globally for some time now, restricting users from sharing passwords with people other than their family.

However, Netflix is now taking measures to stop this practice. The OTT platform, in an email to users, is now telling them that their account is only for them and members of their household.

And that if anybody else outside of their household is using their account, they must transfer their profile to a new account (for which they will have to pay), and consider changing their password.

The move by Netflix is surely sudden, without warning, but not unexpected. For a long time, reports have been doing rounds that Netflix will soon end password sharing among users and take measures to do so.

Netflix ends password sharing in India:

The streaming giant, in a new blog post, wrote, “Starting today, we will be sending this email to members who are sharing Netflix outside their household in India. A Netflix account is for use by one household.

Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are at home, on the go, on holiday and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices. “We recognise that our members have many entertainment choices.

It is why we continue to invest heavily in a wide variety of new films and TV shows so whatever your taste, mood or language and whoever you are watching with, there is always something satisfying to watch on Netflix.”
