I gave access to my account to my Mum and my 7yo nephew (Kids) and received the email yesterday. Am I missing something? It says how I can check who is signed into my account, but there is no call to action saying I must sign them out or stop them using it. What happens if I don't do anything? I guess I'm about to find out.
Being able to share it with Mum and my nephew justified the cost for me, but if I've got to pay an additional fee it really isn't worth it. I've found I watch less and less NF over the last year or so anyway, with better content available on Disney+ and Paramount+. I used to be a frequent sailor on the high seas, but since the streaming services came out it's only the odd thing that I sail for, but I guess it's back into the breach me hearties. It's frustrating, as others have noted the single access fee (Spotify/Apple Music) model has shown to work really well in music, if there was something similar (as NF originally was) for Movies/TV, many people on the high seas would be happy to pay to access the content.
With our favorite comfort shows fragnented/spread over 4 different services (and one that doesn't even have an Aussie home), it was already a tough ask to pay for all these services, but a price jack is the final straw.
- I say price jack as the only way we had access to these 4 services was shared accounts with family in 2 sesparate households.
Generally I would agree with you. However I stayed a weekend recently at an Airbnb and it was so nice to have Netflix and Stan already signed in and ready to go. We were out both nights so only wanted some quick in-between viewing.
Having said that, I think having Wifi + Chromecast available on every TV would be a better proposition. Just connect your phone to the Wifi and you have all your services there to continue from where you left off at home.
I agree. I don't particularly like all the different subscription services these days for TV shows. I'm sadden by the lack of British shows on Netflix or ones that were on there but have been pulled off and are elsewhere now. It's like a mini headache when trying to find where they've gone.
I still seem to be going strong with Netflix shows but many of them I wouldn't feel compelled to watch them if I didn't have the subscription already. But there are many shows on Stan that I actually want to watch. Sooo I'll probably go to Stan for a while.
Just cancelled after many years of constant membership (initially on US Netflix from before they launched here), was on UHD too. Only watched once in a while, but kept it on all the time for the sake of the other household. From now on I'll save up shows I want to watch, subscribe, watch, unsubscribe.
I just checked my Bill Date for the 1st time since subscribing years ago, so I am not far behind you. I was originally going to look into STAN once cancelled but have since decided I might look into AMC+ as an add on for a little while, and still save money.
I'm doing that for all streaming services. I'm even buying some shows I often watch, on Google Play when on special as it works out cheaper in the long run. Unless I can get them on BR or DVD of course.
The other devices need to be operated on your home network once a month to remain active. So unless they vpn to your network once a month or physically turn up monthly, there's not much to be done to bypass it.
Just looked into it a bit more, and all you have to do is confirm devices are part of your household. That isn't going to be hard to manage. If they restrict access to any devices it'll be pretty easy to say you split your time between multiple locations regularly.
The only requirement is that someone from the household is watching it. I imagine they could cancel accounts if they deem it an abuse of the service. Alternatively, airplay/chromecast it from a mobile device which seem to be exempt from the rule.
My father in law is the freeloader in our case. We have a standard plan with 2 screens. If we agreed to pay the $7.99 for an additional household, does that turn our plan into 3 screens? Or still 2 screens but with an additional household?
Might pay for an extra member slot as that will be cheaper than paying $22.99 per month to get Ultra HD. We only run it on one screen at a time anyway. Account we are on is shared by 3 family members.
Worst case scenario, you can avoid the issue entirely by setting up a VPN on the primary household side of things, then, when the secondary household wants to watch Netflix, they just connect to the primary households VPN.
How do you know how when you have been included in the password-sharing crackdown? I got a generic email about password sharing but have not seen anything logging into netflix. Just wondering if someone else in the family ignored it or set their own device as the primary one.
hey guys I'm having trouble with my mums tv.
She was sharing my password so yesterday hers stopped working. I paid the extra $8 so she can watch bit now her Netflix's app on her samsung tv is displaying code ui-800-3. I have tried everything to fix it but now I'm stuck
I've been informed from a reliable source (my partner works for Netflix) that it's only necessary to set the primary household in your own location then all other profiles can watch freely from anywhere else, even other countries (provided you're paying for the additional users). So I don't think people will need the VPN route at all.
I barely watch Netflix these days, I'm half thinking I'll just take my list and put it into notepad, including where I am up to in the various seasons, then give up on Netflix and get the content elsewhere, since it's just the click of a button to get that content.

I'm guessing it registers all devices that have connected to the home IP recently and allows them to be used anywhere and requires them to connect to the home IP every so often to make sure they are still part of the household.
I've not done anything yet to prove it, but as I understand it DO NOT create a new account first if you wish to transfer profile details to the new account. As far as I've been able to determine it's not possible to transfer profile details to an existing separate account.
How does that work? If my brother cast from his phone to the TV using his wifi network of non-main household, shouldn't Netflix able to detect this as well? Or should my brother cast from his phone using mobile data instead? Thanks
accessed NF via nvidia shield- got the prompt asking to verify the household- didn't answer it. switched to NF on iphone and streamed to the shield- no prompts, and worked fine. i then was able to use the shield app to browse around without the prompt appearing again- so maybe this workaround is true- hope others can verify it as well
Basically it is a way of tricking Netflix to believe that the devices at the secondary locations are actually at the primary location at least some of the time, even if they are devices unlikely to actually move (TV, PC, etc...).
I can't be bothered with setting up a VPN or attempting other means of sharing. We have an account that we rarely use, but my wife occasionally goes to her elderly mother's place and they watch a movie together or a series like the Crown. Apart from that we would not have used Netflix in the last year or two.
I know this is all inconvenient for those of us doing something like that, sharing with friends and family simply because you could, sharing costs or otherwise, but the real targets for this are those grossly abusing the system. By this I mean people who profiteer from it by setting up dozens of accounts with separate emails, fund them using gift cards so they don't have multiple bank accounts to deal with or cause suspicion, and then sell each user/profile at a slightly inflated cost and reap the profits.
So rather than get angry at Netflix trying to protect their system, make the earnings they're entitled to, and have people use it legitimately, I'd be directing my anger to those who abused the previous goodwill system and led us to this result.

That's perhaps a better term, yes. Maybe not anger but I'm certainly sensing a tone of schadenfreude from some posters who seem to feel like they're sticking it to big, bad Netflix for daring to change their system to be more transparent and focus more on legitimate use. People have had it pretty good for years password sharing and using regional pricing loopholes, etc. to get it cheaper and that time seems to be ending. At least they're accommodating enough to make allowances for the issue, they could have made extra members full price or something for instance, but they're making a fair compromise I think.
