Netflix is testing a new way to tackle<\/a> password sharing in Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic (as reported first by Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>). A support page for Netflix in Honduras<\/a> clearly states the test will prompt users to pay an additional fee if they use an account on a TV or TV-connected device at a location outside their primary household for over two weeks. Each additional home will cost an extra 219 pesos per month, per home in Argentina ($1.17 US), and $2.99 everywhere else.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a way for the platform to passively nudge password sharers toward opening a new account or getting on a subaccount.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
