Following its latest financial report that showed a decrease in paying subscribers and sent the stock tanking some 35%, the company pledged to go after all of its subscribers doing this. And there is no shortage of those, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/21\/11\/netflix-games-worldwide-on-android\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Netflix will soon charge accounts sharing passwords with other households\"\/><\/p>\n<p>According to Netflix, around 100 million households share passwords. All of those are a missed opportunity and the company argues that this is the root cause of this quarter&#8217;s decline in paid subscribers. According to its estimates around 200,000 users left the platform or decided to join one of the password-sharing accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, password-sharing practices exist on a spectrum. Some use the passwords for occasional viewing while others watch Netflix on a daily basis. That&#8217;s why some of the accounts won&#8217;t be monetized but the streaming service will surely try to crack down on those that systematically break its terms of service.<\/p>\n<p>It has been projected that the platform will lose about 2 million paying subscribers over the next quarter but subscriber growth will resume in the second half of 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/netflix-password-sharing-paid-3155128\/\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/21\/11\/netflix-games-worldwide-on-android\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_001.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/netflix_will_soon_charge_accounts_sharing_passwords_with_other_households-news-54026.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix to soon charge you for sharing passwords with other households Netflix is currently cracking down on multiple households sharing their passwords on a single account, but only in some markets.
