Netflix has made good on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:its warning: the crackdown on password sharing is here – and it cou💙ld cost you.

"A Netflix account is for use by one household," the streamer an🦹nounced in , adding: "Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are – at home, on the go, on holiday – and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices."

The rollout, which begins today, will allow pri𒈔mary users to utilize a new feature: Transfer Profile. In essence, others who use(d) your account can now transfer their full profile – watchlists, history, and all the rest – to their own new paid-for account, with any additional costs.

If you still want others to use your account, you’ll have to buy what's n꧋ow called an 'extra member'.🌠 Here’s how that works.

Only those on Standard and Premium plans can add extra members. Standard accounts ca🍬n only add one extra member; Premium accounts can add up to two. Each will then be given their own password, account, and profile. Ext🐎ra members can cancel at any time.

The current cost for adding extra members is $7.99/month in the US and £4.99/month in the UK. You can add extra members by going to thiღs . 

There are a few caveats, however: you can only add extra members if they live in the same country as you – with apologies to long-distance relationships♛ – and the primary user must fit the full bill for the extra member costs.
