Netflix baru-baru ini memberikan kabar yang agaknya kurang mengenakan untuk sebagian besar pengguna yang sering membagikan kata sandi akun mereka, perusahaan mengatakan akan menghentikan fitur Password Sharinguntuk semua pengguna termasuk Family Plan, Kamis (02/02).

Platform terkemuka Netflix kini mulai memberikan informasi untuk semua penggunanya di seluruh dunia, di mana aturan baru ini akan berdampak langsung untuk semua pengguna yang mengakses layanan Netflix. Perusahaan mulai memberikan batasan untuk Family Plan yang membagikan kata sandi mereka ke lebih dari beberapa perangkat.

Melalui Help Center yang mereka miliki, pengguna yang mengakses layanan Netflix dengan menggunakan akun keluarga atau Family Plan, kemudian diketahui mengakses layanan Netflix diluar dari ranah keluarga (rumah) maka akan terdeteksi dengan cepat. Sebagai akibatnya, Netflix kemungkinan besar akan memberikan pemblokiran untuk aksesnya.

Untuk mengetahui jika akun digunakan oleh anggota keluarga, maka Netflix akan memberikan sejumlah pertanyaan seperti menanyai pengguna untuk menghubungkan perangkat ke jaringan Wi-Fi setiap 30 hari atau sebulan sekali.

Bagaimana dengan pengguna yang sering mengakses layanan Netflix diluar rumah? Netflix sendiri memberikan sebuah pilihan dengan memberikan sebuah kode untuk masuk ke Netflix, nantinya akan diberikan akses untuk mengakses layanan Netflix dalam kurung waktu 7 hari selama diluar koneksi Wi-Fi di rumah.

Lebih lengkapnya, dilansir melalui Streamable berikut Q&A yang dirilis resmi oleh Netflix:

1. Who Can Use a Netflix Account Now?

Netflix accounts are still shareable, but only within one household. To ensure that your devices are associated with your primary location, Netflix is now asking users to connect to the Wi-Fi at their primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days.

2. Can You Still Share Netflix With Someone Who Doesn’t Live With You?

No, accounts are only meant to be used within one household. Netflix will prompt users who try to sign into your account elsewhere to sign up for their own account instead and block their access until they do.
Netflix will NOT begin automatically charging account holders whose information is used outside of their homes.

3. Can Other Users on Your Netflix Account Save Their Profiles?

Yes, Netflix offers users a profile transfer feature that will allow them to migrate their show recommendations, watch history, and more to their own account if they decide to create one. This will give password sharers the opportunity to preserve their profile if they sign up for their own Netflix accounts.

4. Can You Still Use Netflix While Traveling?

Signing into Netflix outside of your home may lead to the device in use being blocked from Netflix. This could prevent you from signing into new devices while traveling, but Netflix has devised a workaround.
Traveling users who want to use Netflix on a hotel smart TV, company laptop, etc. can request a temporary code from the service when signing in. This will give them access to their account for seven consecutive days.

5. How Can You Prevent Netflix from Blocking Your Devices?

Signing into home Wi-Fi at least once every 31 days on your devices will make them “trusted devices,” which Netflix will remember and leave unblocked.
If your device has been blocked incorrectly, you’ll need to contact Netflix in order to get it unblocked.

6. How Will Netflix Know if You’re Not in Your Home/Primary Location?

Netflix uses information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device signed into your account is connected to your primary location.
If your device is being used outside your home by someone you haven’t authorized, you can sign into your account and sign out on all other devices, then change your password.

7. How Many Devices Will Netflix Let You Use Simultaneously in One Location?

That all depends on which plan you’re signed up for. Netflix offers four distinct price tiers, and the number of simultaneous streams varies on which tier you subscribe to.
