Netflix has detailed a series of new measures to crack down on account sharing, in a desperate move to end the practice used by millions of subscribers who let friends and family log into their accounts.
The streaming service will soon designate a “primary location” for your account – your home – and require you watch something while connected to Wi-Fi there “at least once every 31 days”.
Any devices not regularly located at your primary location – something Netflix will snoop on via IP addresses and device IDs – risk being blocked from access. The suggestion here is you can play Netflix’s games on your phone while elsewhere, for example, but that some level of interaction with your home Wi-Fi will still be necessary.
