Netflix is going to start cracking down on password sharing next month. And now we know how they're going to do it. Sort of.
Â
In an updated FAQ, they said, quote, "To ensure uninterrupted access to Netflix, connect to the Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days.
Â
"This creates a trusted device so you can watch Netflix, even when you're away from your primary location."
Â
So what if someone outside your household tries to use your account on a non-trusted device? Quote, "Netflix will prompt users who try to sign into your account elsewhere to sign up for their own account instead and block their access until they do."
Â
But what if that someone is YOU. Say you're traveling, and you want to open your account on a hotel TV, for instance?
Â
In that case, you have to request a TEMPORARY CODE when you sign in. It gives you access for seven consecutive days.
