Digital Desk: Password sharing among friends and family is a common practice as Netflix is one of the most widely used but also one of the costliest OTT platforms for digital content users throughout India. Netflix may, however, soon ban this practice.
According to media sources, OTT juggernaut Netflix will likely outlaw the practise of password sharing among friends and family starting in 2023 due to the apparent loss of revenue and the dearth of new users signing up on the platform.
One of the main causes of subscriber declines, according to Netflix, has been password sharing throughout the years.
The Wall Street Journal said that Netflix intends to solve this issue by prohibiting password sharing beyond one household.
It should be noted that, according to media reports, the ban on sharing Netflix passwords is scheduled to go into effect before it does in India, giving people here a few more months to receive their Netflix subscriptions.
The following are some guidelines that Netflix may implement:
The new policy prohibiting password sharing will probably be implemented by Netflix in the United States in 2023, with rollouts in other nations to follow.

In addition to the prohibition on password sharing, Netflix will likely introduce a new policy allowing subscribers to rent pay-per-view content.
A subscription service based on advertisements may potentially be offered by Netflix shortly; the testing is scheduled to start in 2023.
Password sharing is already banned in the UK by OTT services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO because they claim it violates their copyright policies.
