If you want to allow someone to use your Netflix account in an additional home, the company will ask you to pay a fee. It will cost $2.99 extra if you want to share your password with others. Furthermore, members on a Basic Netflix plan can add one extra home, Standard users can add up to two extra homes and Premium users can add up to three extra homes. Moreover, users will have control to add or remove homes from their account settings page.
How Netflix will know that you are sharing your password with others?
Netflix has also revealed that it does not use location-based data, like GPS. On the other hand, it gets the data from the services it provides to its end users. For instance, it uses an IP address, device IDs and other information about devices signed into the Netflix account across the household. Through this method, Netflix can identify when there’s persistent sharing taking place outside a household. Check Also: Netflix to Organize Free Walking Tours of Your Favorite TV shows
