After all, how does Netflix know who shares accounts improperly?

Recently, Netflix announced that it will ban the sharing of passwords done improperly between users. Now, by all indications, we are getting closer and closer to seeing this idea become a reality, although there is still no defined date for the implementation of the measure on Brazilian.

Despite this, the company streaming already informed how the inspection of these accounts will be carried out. Those that are irregular will receive an additional charge due to account sharing. You can now access the sharing policy in the Help Center on the company's website. It says, “The Netflix account should only be shared by people who live in the same household,” referring to the feature called the Netflix household.

The team reported that one of the ways to check whether the person using the account is part of the residence will be confirming with the owner of the account. account and as follows: “We use information such as IP addresses, device IDs and account activity on devices connected to the account Netflix. The information for the company must come from the verification of the devices”.

“When someone accesses your account on a device not associated with your household Netflix or when your account is regularly accessed from a location outside your home, we may ask you to verify your device before using it to watch Netflix. We do this to confirm that the device using the account is authorized to do so.”

The verification will happen like this:

• Netflix sends an email or SMS to the account holder with a link;
• Upon opening the link, the user is directed to a page with a four-digit verification code;
• Within 15 minutes, you must enter the verification code on the device where it was requested;
• After verification, the device will be able to use the streaming service.
