'No more Netflix & chills': Company bans password sharing in the latest crackdown

Netflix, the renowned streaming giant, has taken a firm stance on combating password sharing in India with the distribution of targeted emails to its customers. The emails make it clear that Netflix accounts are strictly meant for use within a single household. In an official statement, Netflix emphasized that members should enjoy its services exclusively at home or on the go, introducing innovative features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices.


Acknowledging the diverse entertainment choices available to members, Netflix continues to invest heavily in a broad range of films and TV shows, catering to various tastes, languages, and moods. The company allows its paying customers the option to include an additional member from outside their household, albeit subject to an extra monthly fee.


Having already implemented similar measures in more than 100 countries, including prominent markets like the United States, Britain, and France, Netflix seeks to provide a seamless experience for its subscribers. By allowing profile transfers, viewers can maintain their history and personalized recommendations, enhancing the overall user experience.


Netflix's latest efforts come amidst its ongoing battle to curb the widespread practice of account sharing, estimated to involve over 100 million households globally. As of March, the streaming giant reported a subscriber base of 232.5 million paying customers worldwide, solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the entertainment industry.
