„Sharing passwords is something you have to learn to live with, because there are several types of legitimate sharing. For example, with your spouse, children or other family members. It will be very difficult to set the line between what is and is not right,“Said Reed Hastings, co-founder and head of Netflix, already in 2016.
Netflix, like HBO Go, Amazon Prime or Disney +, has so far been used to share passwords very tolerant. It normally allowed its subscribers to create several profiles within one user account, but they should only be used members of one family whose households. In practice, unfortunately, it is different.
