Go to your Manage Profiles page. Select Add Profile. In the Netflix mobile app for Android or iOS, tap the profile icon or More , then select Manage Profiles. Select Add Profile.
Go to netflix.com/youraccount and sign in. Go to Extra Members > Buy an extra member slot. Follow the steps above to "Add an extra member."
The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot. The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account. Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.
Account holders can add more people outside of the household for an extra $7.99 a month, or they can use the "transfer profile" feature to prompt extra users to make their own accounts that they pay for, Netflix said Tuesday.
A Netflix account is for use by one household. Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are — at home, on the go, on holiday — and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices.
Both the Basic and Basic with ads plans allow you to watch Netflix on one screen only. With a Standard subscription, you can watch Netflix on two screens at the same time.
The streaming service said it began alerting members on Tuesday about its new sharing policy, noting that Netflix accounts are only to be shared within one household. “Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with — your household,” the company said in an email, which it posted to its blog on Tuesday.
Or, upgrade your Netflix plan to allow more devices to watch at the same time (up to 4 with the Premium plan).
So you have two options: transfer your friends and family members mooching off your account to a new membership or share your Netflix account for an additional $8 monthly fee. “Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with – your household,” Netflix said in an email to U.S. subscribers.
Netflix cracks down on password sharing
As we reported exclusively earlier today, Netflix has introduced their password sharing restrictions to Australian users, meaning account holders can no longer share their password with family or friends who do not live in the same household.
The best way to bypass the Netflix password sharing ban is to use NordVPN Meshnet. The Meshnet feature is available for free for everyone. It helps you and your friends use the same single IP address on up to 60 devices at once.
What are the new rules? Netflix will only let people share an account if they live in the same household — or pay an extra fee. It'll ask people using someone else's account to get a new account of their own or stay on as a paid "extra member".
Your account can have up to five individual profiles, and you can set a maturity rating level on each one. Each profile will have its own recommendations based on that profile's ratings and tastes.
How does Netflix know that you're sharing someone else's password? Netflix says it uses a combination of IP addresses, device IDs, and “account activity from devices signed into the Netflix account” to determine if an account is being used in the primary account holder's household.
Click on your profile in the top right corner of your screen. Go to Account. From the Security & Privacy section, select Manage access and devices. Netflix will show you a list of every connected device.
Netflix says an account can only be used by members of one physical household, sharing one internet connection. Additional members logging from elsewhere can be added for $7.99 a month. The restrictions appear to only apply to televisions and not mobile devices for now.
Receive Netflix Standard (2-screens within a household, up to $15.49/mo. value) while you maintain 2+ qualifying Go5G Plus or Magenta Max lines in good standing. Netflix account & compatible device required. Alternative discount toward different Netflix streaming plans may apply.
Well, if your show is available in UHD and your internet connection and device support the 4K streaming, yes it is worth going for the Premium plan. However, if you mainly use small screens like mobile or tablets, or if your device does not support Ultra HD streaming, the Netflix Standard plan would suffice.
For this reason, we suggest you change your Netflix password and sign out of all devices. This will permanently kick them out and you can now peacefully log in back again with your new password and share with your family as per your wish.
We want to help keep your account secure, so we email you whenever there is a new sign-in to your Netflix account from a new device.
Basic allows one stream, as well as episode/movie downloads to a single phone or tablet for offline viewing. Standard allows two streams, and it downloads to two offline phones or tablets. Premium allows four streams, and it downloads to four offline phones or tablets.
Email addresses associated with an existing profile cannot be used to sign up for a new account, so you will need to remove your email address from the profile.
