You've got less than 10 weeks left to let your mom, sister, or partner use your Netflix login

Thursday, Netflix said it expected to"roll out paid sharing more broadly" later in the first quarter. It means that by the end of March, it's possible you won't be able to give out your password for free.

Netflix said account-sharing affects over 100 million households, which"undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve Netflix." It added that, while their terms of use already limit account use to a single household,"we recognize this is a change for members who share their account more broadly."

"As we roll out paid sharing, members in many countries will also have the option to pay extra if they want to share Netflix with people they don't live with," the letter says. Subscribers will be able to transfer a user profile to a new account as well.
