Netflix is tired of users sharing their passwords with others.

During registration, the company used to draw attention to the fact that sharing passwords with people who do not live in the same house goes against the rules, but no one takes it seriously.

Netflix has already taken steps to stop this, but it looks like they’re going to tighten it up now.

So Netflix doesn’t want to punish everyone for cheating, but instead offers an alternative that benefits both parties. If this succeeds, it will be introduced in the rest of the world, including Hungary.
Standard and Premium account holders can still share their account with someone else, but only with the number specified in the contract.
