Just know, however, that once you do, all of your connected Netflix accounts will be logged out (including any being used by people who are mooching your password).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"is-wp-image-block wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2520\" height=\"1452\" src=\"https:\/\/centralrecorder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-to-change-your-Netflix-password.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"is-wp-image-block wp-image-6000607\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-on-the-web\">On the web<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To do this from a computer, go to Netflix.com.

The streamer last week said a staggering number of people around the world are inappropriately borrowing other peoples\u2019 passwords to stream content.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix said in its latest <a href=\"https:\/\/s22.q4cdn.com\/959853165\/files\/doc_financials\/2022\/q1\/FINAL-Q1-22-Shareholder-Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quarterly shareholder letter<\/a> this week that on top of its 222 million paid subscriber base? \u201cWe estimate that Netflix is being shared with over 100m additional households.\u201d Including over 30 million in Netflix\u2019s US-Canada market.<\/p>\n<p>A test is currently underway in three Latin American countries that prompt freeloaders to start paying for a Netflix subscription. The delicate balance to achieve here is that Netflix wants those people to start paying up. Rather than causing them to flee the service for good. \u201cWe are trying to find a balanced approach here, a consumer-centric approach,\u201d Greg Peters, Netflix\u2019s chief product officer, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/is-netflix-cracking-down-on-password-sharing-heres-what-you-need-to-know-if-you-share-an-account-11650639817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a video interview with JP Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake, though. This push will definitely come to the US, to go after US-based freeloaders borrowing a Netflix password.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy belief is that we\u2019re going to go through a year or so of iterating, and then deploying, all of that so that we get that solution globally launched, including markets like the United States,\u201d Peters continued.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<p><strong>More Netflix coverage:<\/strong><em>\u00a0For more Netflix news, check out our coverage of the latest\u00a0new Netflix movies and series to watch.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time when Netflix was still riding high \u2014 when it was the envy of pretty much every entertainment company, and when the official Netflix Twitter account was still sharing cheeky quips like \u201cLove is sharing a password.\u201d Not anymore.
