Netflix Password Sharing: What Is Netflix Charging to Share Passwords? What Is The New Subscribers Rate?

Sharing Netflix passwords could become a thing of the past. This week, Variety reported that the streamer is launching a test that will allow primary account holders pay an additional fee for users outside their households, in hopes of cracking down on illegal password sharing.

This option would let account owners cut down on Netflix costs by asking friends and/or family members to chip in for their share of the account.

“Accounts are being shared between households – impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members,” Netflix director of product innovation Chengyi Long wrote in a recent blog post. “So for the last year we’ve been working on ways to enable members who share outside their household to do so easily and securely, while also paying a bit more.”
