One of the age-old methods to keep up with the giant variety of streaming services is account sharing. You\u2019re only supposed to share accounts within your household. But if we\u2019re being honest, plenty of people share with friends, neighbors, and a cool dude they met once. Now Netflix is testing messages to cut back on sharing outside your household. Get ready to verify.<\/span><\/p>\n

As first spotted by The Streamable<\/a>, the message comes with a stern warning and a request to verify your identity. The prompt reads: \u201cIf you don\u2019t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching.\u201d It asks for a verification code from the account owner, sent via email or text. If you don\u2019t verify, Netflix will ask you to create a new account.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a true surprise. Netflix\u2019s terms of use<\/a>\u00a0state that content on the site is \u201cfor your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.\u201d The exact definition of a household isn\u2019t clear. It could mean only those physically living in your home, or Netflix may allow children away at college. The company doesn\u2019t say. The message people are seeing, however, states \u201cif you don\u2019t live with the owner of this account\u2026\u201d so that\u2019s not a good sign for children out of the home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clarity on the subject would be nice, and for now, the test seems to be limited in nature. We can only find a few Tweets corroborating the message, though Netflix did confirm the test in a statement to The Verge<\/a>. As it stands, if you\u2019re borrowing Netflix from a friend in another city, that might come to an end\u00a0<\/span>soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
