Comment on Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions

I haven’t followed the Netflix password news all that closely because I barely ever use Netflix - but when I do use it it’s through password sharing an account my sister pays for. That worked as recently as just a week ago.
Should I expect that to stop working soon?

If someone is actively watching something and a second person logs in to the same account and starts watching something, Netflix recognizes it within a minute and displays a message that someone’s already using that account to the second person that logged in.

Thanks. I doubt that’ll ever be an issue for us so it looks like it’ll be business as usual.

That’s not how it works. You will be forced to set a “home” for your account, which then IP locks your account for stationary devices. Anyone else not on that IP and not on a mobile device won’t be able to watch.
