We have spent several weeks with the refrain of the end of the shared accounts of Netflix and until now it seemed like a biting dog, little barking. However, from the platform have already started displaying a message warning that tells us that, indeed, we must have our own account to continue using the service.
In this way, users who open the Netflix application outside of what they consider to be their primary home location (and which we should have determined a few weeks ago) will display a screen that will offer to receive a code to be able to see the content outside the home.
14 more days
This code, remember, will come to the mail and / or phone number of the account holder and this must be entered on the device in question. Thus, the platform verifies that it is an authorized device and the service can be used from that location for fourteen days. Extendable, yes.
It also gives you the opportunity to log out to establish, later, an own account. If we do not act on one of the options, we will not be able to continue watching the content and, theoretically, our device can be blocked and cannot be used for the Netflix account that we enjoy.
Let’s remember that, since February, the main device that Netflix uses to detect (through IP and WiFi/network) the Netflix home is the television, so this screen is beginning to be displayed on televisions that are outside the home environment.
