It might be time to change those passwords.
If you currently share your Netflix password with a friend or a significant other, you might need to have a difficult conversation with them.
In 2023, Netflix will officially start cracking down on password sharing and plans on introducing extra charges to curb the issue.
The streaming giant had already tested the feature in March— first in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru.
Although streaming giant has yet to release exactly when and which regions will be affected by this measure in early 2023, it began testing the feature back in March in select areas— first in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru.
The cost for the “add an extra member” feature ranged between $2.68 and $3.78 in those regions.
When the feature rolls out next year, Netflix will give users who are borrowing someone else’s account the ability to transfer their existing profile information—including viewing history and personalized recommendations—to their own account.
Subscribers who want to keep sharing with family or friends outside of their household will also have the ability to pay for sub-accounts for extra members.
So, with this extra fee, will you be having a difficult talk with your piggy backer?
