The company said it has previously encouraged account sharing, but that the practices are 'impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members':
Netflix is testing a way to crack down on password sharing. The streaming service has been asking some users of the popular streaming site to verify that they live with the holder of the account.
Netflix said it won't ban password sharing, but those who do it will have to pay. It will be testing the change in three countries — Chile, Costa Rica and Peru. For 2,380 Chilean pesos, 2.99 U.S. dollars and 7.9 Peruvian sol,"Netflix will lose a lot of customers if they do this password sharing crackdown they plan to do," said one Twitter user.
Under the anticipated change, users who don't pay will be able to transfer their profiles to their own accounts, retaining customizations like My List, viewing history and recommendations Netflix makes.
