Tue 19 July 2022:
Netflix, a well-known provider of video streaming services, has announced that it is placing a new approach to password sharing to the test in Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic.
In March 2022, the platform introduced the “add extra member” feature in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru; it is currently testing the feature in additional countries.
“Over the last 15 years, we have worked hard to build a streaming service that’s easy to use, including for people who travel or live together. It is great that our members love Netflix movies and TV shows so much they want to share them more broadly,” the company said in a blogpost.
“But today’s widespread account sharing between households undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve our service,” it added.
The company said that each Netflix account — whatever your plan — will include one home where you can enjoy Netflix on any device.
To use your Netflix account in additional homes, the platform will ask you to pay an extra (219 Pesos per month per home in Argentina / $2.99 per month per home in the Dominican Republic / $2.99 per month per home in Honduras / $2.99 per month per home in El Salvador / $2.99 per month per home in Guatemala).
The Basic plan allows members to add one additional home; Standard allows up to two; and Premium allows up to three. On their tablet, laptop, or mobile device, users can watch away from home.
