Today’s the last day you can share your Netflix password with family and friends outside of your household.
Earlier this month, Netflix confirmed it was cracking down on Canadian users who allow friends and family to use their accounts. As of Feb. 21, Netflix users must designate a primary location to their account and users outside that household will not be allowed to use their password.
The company suggests password sharing was ultimately “impacting [its] ability to invest in great new TV and films,” Chengyi Long, Netflix’s director of product innovation, said in a statement.

Under a new approach to combat the issue, subscriptors are urged to add a “primary location” to their account, allowing Netflix to identify users outside of their household.
Two additional members outside the household may be added to premium accounts for $7.99 each per month. Only one outside member is allowed to be added on for standard accounts. Added members will have access to individual profiles with recommendations and login information.
Basic users, who use ad-supported plans, are not permitted to add members.
To save your personalized homepages and watch lists, you can transfer your shared account to a new account for an additional cost.
