Netflix offers three types of rates for those who want to use their streaming service. Two of them allow several accesses simultaneously, something that many have taken advantage of to share their account with other people. Until now, it seemed that their main strategy was to raise the price of these rates every so often, but the bosses of the platform are clear that more is needed than that.
In the end, it all comes down to how tough they want to be with their rules of use, where they already make it very clear that “The Netflix service and all content viewed through the service is for your personal, non-commercial use and may not be shared with individuals outside of your household.“. And that’s where Netflix It has been doing tests for some time to prevent us from sharing our account.
In line with the rules
It was in March 2021 when several comments from people began to emerge on social networks revealing that Netflix was asking for a verification code to continue having access. The company relies for this on its terms of use, because in section 4 it clarifies that only people who live in the same household can share an account, while in section 5 it makes it clear that they have the right to verify it and even cancel the account in case we refuse to do so.
From Netflix it was already warned several years ago that “we’re good at making sure that the people who are using a Netflix account, who are signing in, are the ones who are authorized to do so“.
It was in March of last year when the test started “We’re good at making sure that the people who are using a Netflix account, who are signing in, are the ones who are authorized to do so.” For example, in June it began to be tested in Poland and this past December it was commented that some Italian users were also beginning to see these types of ads.
Those who believe that this can be solved by use of a VPN, be careful, because last summer it was learned that Netflix was also getting serious against those users of this type of service. Years ago there was a first great offensive and it seems that they are returning to influence it. For now, mainly avoid accessing Netflix content in other countries, but it is not ruled out that they end up going beyond that.

For now, this Netflix movement is in the testing phase and it is not certain that it will end up being widely implemented. In addition, it even allows you to use the option to verify your identity later, which is why it is being even the object of jokes, but it is still a good warning about what could come in the future.
