Netflix is reportedly seeing a decrease in password sharing since it began cracking down on the practice in March. The company has said that it expects to lose 2 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2022, and some analysts believe that password-sharing restrictions could be a contributing factor.

Netflix has long allowed users to share their passwords with others outside of their households. However, the company began testing password-sharing restrictions in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru in March. These restrictions prevent users from streaming Netflix on more than one device outside of their home network.
Netflix has not released any specific data on how many users have been affected by the password-sharing restrictions. However, the company has said that it is “confident” that the changes will help to “reinvigorate” its growth.
Netflix’s Password-Sharing Restrictions
The password-sharing restrictions have been met with mixed reactions from users. Some users have said that they are willing to pay for their own Netflix subscription if they are no longer able to share their passwords with others. Others have said that they will simply cancel their Netflix subscription altogether.
It remains to be seen how effective Netflix’s password-sharing restrictions will be in the long term. However, the company’s decision to crack down on the practice is a sign that it is willing to take steps to address its slowing growth.
