How does Netflix find joint accounts?
In an update to its account sharing policy on Feb. 9, Netflix said it would begin implementing the new policy in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain before expanding to other markets next month. As part of this policy, airlines will tighten controls to ensure only members of the same family can access accounts.
One of the steps taken is to require users to provide a location, such as the customer’s home address. If you sign in to an account at this location, anyone can use that account. If you need to access your account from another location, you must first sign in to your primary location before moving to another location.

The airline is also offering a subscription option for people who “live with the same family but don’t live in the same household.” However, this service only accepts the registration of two more people and comes with an additional fee. This fee varies from country to country, for example in Canada it is CAD 7.99 (VND 140,000).
In schools where family members travel, Netflix insists they can sign in on new devices like hotel TVs, but doesn’t say exactly how that will be determined. Previously in a paginated document Flow To collect, Netflix may provide a temporary login code that allows the user to access their account remotely for 7 days.
The Netflix plan allows you to create up to five profiles that users can share with family members. However, millions of people used this policy to sell accounts to foreigners, causing the company to lose revenue.
In a new policy update, Netflix creative product manager Chenggi Long said around 100 million households share an account, “impacting studios’ ability to invest in films and TV shows. Although Netflix has seen this as a positive thing in the past, when they aired the famous message: “Love yourself is sharing account passwords.”
