Netflix to stop access to accounts with users at multiple locations

Netflix has come up with the idea to stop access to accounts with users at multiple locations. It has also come up with a new fee structure.

The testing of the new fee structure will start in the next few weeks in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. It will be an additional security layer to block access to those accounts whose locations are not the same as those of account holders.

Netflix subscriptions are often shared between friends and family members. Now, Netflix will allow subscribers to add up to two additional users outside of their households. The company shared this news on Wednesday.

Reportedly, there will also be the option of a bolt-on subscription for more users, who do not live with the account holders. Chengyi Long, director of product innovation, Netflix, reportedly said, “We have always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account.” Chengyi Long appreciated the features of Netflix such as separate profiles and multiple streams in Netflix’s Premium plans.
