Netflix password sharing could come to an end as company tests new feature

Technology

Netflix is testing a new feature, which will ensure that only those who own the account or live with the owners of the account are able to access to it. Password sharing for Netflix accounts is very common among friends and family members, but it looks like the company could make it more difficult with an upcoming feature, which will require a code before accessing the account.The feature was spotted by Gammawire, which has shared a screenshot of the same as well. Netflix confirmed that it is testing such a feature to The Verge. A spokesperson told the website, ““This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorized to do so.”So how will the feature work?Basically every time someone new tries to access the account, Netflix will ask for a code sent either to the email associated with the account or to the mobile number which is linked. There’s also an option to ‘Verify Later’ according to the screenshot size.
