It started February and Netflixwhich was stepping up its efforts to prevent its subscribers from sharing their passwords with others, required connected devices were required to register from the account holder’s IP address once every 31 days. But it seems that the company reconsidered.
As if that were not enough, the measures included that the service would immediately block any new computers trying to log in from a different IP address.
Now, the streaming platform seems to make access a bit more flexible. According to a report published on the website of xataka, There will no longer be periods of time or the obligation to connect every month.
In addition, for those who “made a punctual escape from that home”, Netflix may (meaning it will not always) request a temporary code to grant access to the application for seven consecutive days. This seems to allow account sharing in a way.
“When you sign in to an account from a device outside your home or start using the device frequently, we may ask you to verify it before you can use it to watch Netflix or change your Netflix home. We do this to confirm that the device using the account is authorized to do so”, explains the company in the latest update of your support page.
