If you're still unsure how Netflix's ban on password-sharing affects your streaming routine, read on for a breakdown. Find out what it really means to share a Netflix account "within a household," how to continue watching when you're on the go, what you can do to extend account access, and more. Plus, get a deep dive into the top benefits of having your own Netflix paid subscription.

Prior to Netflix's crackdown on password-sharing, subscribers could use anyone’s account so long as they had the password. But now, one account is only "for use by one household."

That means you and the people you live with can still share a single account without paying additional fees. You can easily set up and manage your Netflix household through most TV devices. Members can watch on up to four supported devices at once if they’re on the same WiFi network or using the same internet connection.

But just because you're sharing one account doesn't mean everyone connected to it needs to watch the same things in the same room. You can still have unique profiles, stream different titles separately, and enjoy Netflix on your own time.

According to Netflix, the streaming platform uses data like IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to gauge if someone outside the household is accessing the account. While there are no penalties for sharing passwords (as of now), these measures make it harder to use another household’s account for free.

Yes, you can still use the Netflix app even when traveling. You can access it through portable devices, like your mobile phone or laptop, and even a new TV simply by signing in.

Netflix also allows members to "register" new devices if they have a second home or frequently travel to a specific location. However, you may need to verify the login to confirm no users outside of your primary household are trying to force their way into your shared Netflix account.

Yes, Netflix has added a new feature that allows you to share your account with people who don't live with you. Depending on your Netflix plan, you can add one to two members outside your household.

The Standard Plan allows you to add one extra member outside your household while the Premium Plan gives you the option to add up to two members who don't live with you. Each member will cost an extra ₱149 per month. The primary account holder must purchase the slot then send the invite to join.

There's also the Profile Transfer feature where anyone on your account can transfer their profile to a new or existing membership. For example, if you have a sibling who's moved to a new household, they can use this feature to keep recommendations, viewing history, and other data associated with their profile.

The Netflix shake-up likely locked you out if you used a friend’s or relative's account for free earlier this year. So, is it time to get your own membership? Yes! It's still worth paying for the exclusive perks, even if you can't share your password anymore. Here are just a few of the benefits of a paid Netflix subscription.

Netflix has one of the largest streaming catalogs in the world. They have must-watch TV shows and movies in virtually every genre, from Action to Thriller. It's also home to hundreds of award-winning and critically acclaimed originals like Stranger Things, The Crown, The Haunting of Hill House, Wednesday, and more.

You can easily watch Netflix through numerous supported devices with a reliable internet connection. Not only does that list include computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs, but also game consoles and streaming media players.

Both the Netflix app and website offer a very intuitive navigational experience. Some notable features include:

• Browse by category, genre, and language.
• Stay on top of all new releases via the "New & Popular" section and set alerts for your most anticipated titles.
