Netflix password verification or new account

It's a shared secret: you can share them ς πρόσβασης του Netflix. Μέχρι στιγμής, η streaming she was probably indifferent to sharing passwords.

Chief Executive Officer Netflix In fact, Reed Hastings has said many times that sharing passwords is a "positive" thing.

But now it seems that the company is thinking of doing something about it. As first reported by The Streamable, some Netflix users are starting to see a prompt asking them to get their own accounts.

"If you do not live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to continue monitoring," the message states, and then asks users to either sign up with a test account or verify their identity with an email. or an SMS.

If you are really close friends with the real account holder, he could just send it to you verification, but you may have a problem if you still te the password your former roommate gave you five years ago.

A Netflix representative said at The Streamable,

"This test is designed to ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorized to do so."

This could be considered a security measure against stolen passwords, but the way the prompt is worded makes it clear that the main intent is to limit the sharing of passwords.

To tell the truth, it seems that such a move was inevitable. We do not know if Netflix will apply this measure directly to everyone, but there are definitely a huge number of Netflix viewers who do not pay for the service.

Research shows that a third of Netflix users share their accounts with someone of their home. It's hard to imagine that Netflix will continue to allow this money to leak.

  1. Let's put another parameter in the game. Personally, having personally tested their platform, I have the following to say:
    As a platform it is really practical, with easy-to-use and smart design and facilities (eg related movies you watch, suggestions, etc.).

    However, as content, I consider it far below average, since in fact - at least in Greece, since I do not know what is happening in other countries of the platform - it does not have such a rich and modern theme for someone who knows what he wants and knows what " plays ”in the specific market.
    Some call it "garbage", meaningless and indifferent, some others and so on.
    "Practice" for those who do not know from tor, Vpv and their companions in srt, etc…

    However, I will disagree slightly with the last part of the publication, according to which: "it is difficult to imagine that Netflix will constantly allow this money leak".

    I repeat that, MY PERSONAL assessment is that it does not go to cut the purchase of 4 codes from me and the distribution of 3 to parents, or even friends, with a similar sharing of monthly expenses, but the "sale of login codes" in Chinese stores where, with Impressive minimum charges per 6 months (compared to the official company), you can get 3-4-5 licenses with high quality image.

    A search for the subject in a Chinese store, but AFTER someone who wants to look for it logs in to it, will confirm the truth of my statement.

    So I think this is going to hit and not the average viewer, where, in the end, the parameter is not mentioned (if I remember correctly) that "whoever buys 4 licenses, should use them inside, inside and on them" …

    By the way, Happy Lent around the world.
