We asked, you told us: If Netflix restricts account sharing, you’ll leave

Netflix was recently spotted testing a new way to limit account sharing on its platform. The test indicates that the streaming service may soon require you to verify if you live in the same household as the account owner. The company has had this policy for a long time but hasn’t implemented it just yet.
If the test indeed results in restrictions on account sharing, people who watch Netflix through someone else’s account could lose access to the service or be forced to chase the account holder for verification codes. They might also have to sign-up independently and pay for a new Netflix account for continued access.
