In the company's earnings report released yesterday, Netflix announced that password-sharing will be made unavailable early this year, likely before March, which will restrict simultaneous use of Netflix accounts beyond households. Instead, the company is focused on pushing its paid sharing option as well as its lower priced subscription plan with ads.

"Later in Q1, we expect to start rolling out paid sharing more broadly," Netflix's report reads.

Netflix said that account sharing, which it attributed to more than 100 million households, "undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business." The clampdown isn't a new intention on Netflix's part; previously, it's tested extra fees and teased charging for shared accounts as far back as 2021.

"While our terms of use limit use of Netflix to a household, we recognize this is a change for members who share their account more broadly," read Netflix's report.

"So we’ve worked hard to build additional new features that improve the Netflix experience, including the ability for members to review which devices are using their account and to transfer a profile to a new account. As we roll out paid sharing, members in many countries will also have the option to pay extra if they want to share Netflix with people they don’t live with."

Under the new terms, a single Netflix account can be used by those living under one roof, keeping household to its strictest definition. This was already tested in the Latin American market, where those sharing passwords had to pay the new additional fees. The new rules resulted in some "cancel reactions," says Netflix, however the company expects "borrower households" to run with the new rules and set up their own standalone accounts, which would ultimately improve revenue for the company. Whether people actually do that or not remains to be seen — but Netflix is hopeful.

Meanwhile, all members can still watch Netflix while traveling, on any given device.
