In Netflix They have been working hard for a long time to end shared accounts and thus increase their income. Now he has announced a new function so that the person who pays the account can expel any other user from it, be it his ex, a freeloader friend or anyone who also has access to it.
All the power for whoever pays
To access this function you have to access the configuration of our account in the new section “Manage access and devices“in the Security and privacy section. There we will be able to consult the different devices that have access to the account, but we will also have the option of block access and log out of any of them with a simple click and without the need to change your password. By the way, so you can fight against possible hacking of your account.
This new function is designed to be able to include and remove devices that we use while we are traveling, but it also gives absolute power to the person who pays for the subscription. This way you can block access, but without requiring a lawful reasonso be very careful if you are not the one who is charged by Netflix directly each month.
This movement by Netflix is still an additional step to force many to pay for their own subscription. It is no coincidence that they recently announced the feature “transfer profile” to make it as simple as possible and now they have taken another step to put an end to the hassle of shared accounts.
From Netflix they promote this idea with the following message:”Today we’re launching Access & Device Management, a new feature in Account Settings that allows you to see all recent devices that have streamed from your account and sign out of specific devices with a single click.“.
