Key Points

Netflix has started cracking down on password sharing and each extra member who can use the service outside your household will need to pay $7.99 extra each month...

The company said that 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," the company informed...

"Paid sharing is another important initiative as widespread account sharing (over 100 million households) undermines our ability to invest in and improve Netflix for our paying members, as well as build our business," the company added..
