ACCOUNT SHARING FAQs

What is account sharing?

Account sharing is when you share your Netflix credentials to other people, regardless if they live within your household or outside it.

Can I share my Netflix account?

Anyone in your household can use your Netflix account. People who are not in your household will need to sign up for their own account to watch. Please visit www.netflix.com/sharing for more information.

What is a Netflix Household?

A Netflix Household is a collection of the devices connected to the internet at the main place you watch Netflix. A Netflix Household can be set using a TV device. All other devices that use your Netflix account on the same internet connection as this TV will automatically be part of your Netflix Household. Visit https://help.netflix.com/node/124925 for more information.

How does Netflix detect whether a device is within a Netflix Household?

Netflix uses information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device signed into your account is part of your Netflix Household. 

Can I still watch Netflix outside my home?

Netflix is easy to use when on the go or traveling. Use Netflix as usual to watch on your portable devices - like a tablet, laptop, or mobile phone - or sign into a new TV, like at a hotel or a holiday rental. Visit https://help.netflix.com/node/24853 for more information

Who is affected by account sharing?

This new feature affects Netflix users who live outside the household of the account holder.

What is the impact of password sharing to users who charge their Netflix subscriptions to their Globe Postpaid / Platinum / Globe At Home bills?

For existing Netflix account owners who directly charge their subscription to their Globe bill, there is no impact. They should be able to use their subscription as is.


For Netflix users outside the households of the main account owners who want to transfer their existing profiles, they will need to create a new account.

I am one of those users living outside the household of Netflix account owners and am now forced to create a new account. What if I want my subscription charged to my Globe bill?

You may charge your new Netflix account directly to your Globe bill by visiting https://netflix.globe.com.ph/. Please note that by creating a new Netflix account, you will be unable to transfer your existing profile. This means titles in your Watch History, Downloads, and My List will not be moved to your new account.

I still want to know more about Account Sharing. Where do I go?
