We knew this day would come sooner or later. After we Spaniards were unwitting testers of Netflix’s <\/strong>measures to limit the possibility of sharing passwords with other people<\/strong>, these limitations are now coming to the United States<\/a><\/strong>, one of the main markets of the streaming platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Although Netflix had planned to implement this measure in the first quarter of the year,<\/strong> the huge number of unsubscribes the company suffered in Spain<\/a><\/strong> and other markets where password sharing was already limited ended up delaying everything until early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, thousands of U.S. users are receiving Netflix’s first-ever notice “encouraging” them to set a primary location<\/strong>. U.S. users who sign in on a device located elsewhere will have to pay $7.99 per month to continue using Netflix on that account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Netflix accounts are designed to be used in the same household<\/strong>,” the company states in its ad. “Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are – at home, on the road, on vacation – and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in Spain and other markets <\/strong>where Netflix has already implemented the measure, users in the United States have the possibility of transferring their profiles to their own accounts,<\/strong> should they decide to stop sharing accounts through this new system. In this way, users can keep their playback history and favorite series listings, among other data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the United States, Netflix’s new measures to limit password sharing will also be implemented in other markets<\/strong> in the coming weeks, such as Mexico, Colombia and Argentina.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

If we add to this fact that the Netflix subscription plan with advertising is a success <\/a><\/strong>and already has more than 5 million users worldwide<\/strong>, we could almost completely rule out that Netflix will end up backtracking (at least in the short term) and we can go back to sharing passwords as in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
