It seems that Netflix has grown tired of users who use the platform with passwords borrowed from other people who are paying the monthly fee. As reported by The Streamable , the giant could have decided to end this practice with a new function that asks you to obtain your own account. “If you do not live with the owner of this account, you need to have your own to continue watching,” says the message that has been going out to those non-subscribers. Next, they were forced to verify the account using an email or a code that they sent as an SMS to the owner's mobile phone. If you couldn't do it, the other option was to create a one-month trial account, completely free, with the clear objective of ending up paying.
However, as the aforementioned portal assures, this test is only being carried out for the moment on television devices . “This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are Phone Number List authorized to do so,” a spokesperson for the American company tells The Streamable . According to Netflix's terms, an account can only be shared with household members , a condition that is not usually respected, especially in family or premium plans, in which up to four screens can be viewed at the same time. “The Netflix service and any content viewed through this platform are for your personal, non-commercial use only and cannot be shared with people outside your home,” reads the fine print.
The truth is that so far the firm has done nothing to try to control this, except for establishing limits on simultaneous transmission . The basic plan allows it on a single device, while the standard plan offers it on up to two and the premium plan, as we have said, on up to four. However, they do not limit the number of devices that can be logged into a single account. Already in October 2019, product director Greg Peters stated that they were analyzing the situation and looking for ways to end this practice. He also noted that Netflix had “no big plans” to announce in this regard.
