Netflix has cracked down on password sharing. Here's what it means for you, and how to deal.

Back in the day, it was enough for one person in your family or group of friends to have a single Netflix account that got shared around. However, all of that changed in May 2023 when Netflix cracked down on password sharing , making it much more difficult to share an account outside of your home.

Related Why did Netflix end password sharing? At one point, everyone either had a Netflix account or had access to a Netflix account. Maybe it was yours, or your parents, or your ex-boyfriend’s. The thing is, Netflix knew millions of people were sharing accounts, and a whole lot of them didn’t live together. So password sharing had to go.

What are the Netflix password sharing rules, and how do they work? A Netflix account may be shared, but is meant to be shared only among the users who live in the same household. This means you can still split an account with your roommates, or have a single family subscription … until someone moves out. That’s where things become more complicated.

If that doesn’t quite work for you, then you’re left with only one other option: You’ll need to pay for your own Netflix subscription. The bright side is that you don’t need to completely start over, and can transfer your Netflix profile to a new account. Are VPNs still usable? Netflix has always had different content available in different regions. While you still can use a VPN to access Netflix, you’re not going to get access to everything.
