Netflix looks set to start to crackdown on password sharing outside households.
The streamer is reportedly attempting to prevent users from sharing accounts in the future.
Netflix has introduced a verification system, stating; “If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching.”
The users will have to verify that it is in fact their account via a verification code.
The news was made public by GammaWire.
Netflix reported that it had almost 204 million global subscribers at the end of 2020.
As the streaming landscape continues to grow, with services like Paramount+, HBO Max, and Disney+ launching in the past two years, cracking down on password sharing appears to be one solution to help Netflix grow its subscribers.
