You Can Only Share Netflix Password With Household Members NOW

Netflix passwords can only be shared between household members living under one roof and not externally. The clampdown was first announced in January 2023 and is implemented in over 100 countries, with UAE being the most recent one. With this new update, you cannot share your Netflix password with your friends and relatives in the UAE or abroad. The streaming platform has shared an email with the account owners with a guideline on terms of use, and how to manage your accounts and members.

And with this new update, the account owners will have to verify their accounts, and once verified, they won’t have to re-verify devices. And if you have a member outside your household, either you or they themselves can purchase a new membership. So far, the restrictions have been imposed in stages in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, the US and the UK.
