Prime Video UK Chief to Depart

Streaming giant Netflix announced new measures to crack down on password sharing among users. Starting with a new two-factor authentication system, users will be asked to verify their identity via text or email in order to confirm they are authorized to use the account.

This move comes as part of Netflix’s ongoing efforts to ensure their service is being used by paying customers, as opposed to freeloaders who are benefitting from someone else’s subscription. While password sharing has been a common practice among friends and family members, it has also been a factor in lost revenue for streaming platforms like Netflix.

The new two-factor authentication feature is currently being tested on a limited basis, but could be rolled out to all users in the near future. This added layer of security will require users to input a code sent to their phone or email in order to continue watching content on the platform.

It’s important for users to remember that sharing passwords is a violation of Netflix’s terms of service and could result in the suspension or termination of the account. By implementing this new verification system, Netflix is taking steps to protect the integrity of its platform and ensure that those who are using the service are doing so legitimately.

While some users may see this as an inconvenience, it is ultimately designed to protect the investments of paying customers and ensure that the streaming experience remains fair for all. So next time you log in to Netflix, be prepared to verify your identity and confirm that you are authorized to use the account.
