This development comes amid Netflix's expanded efforts to combat password sharing in multiple countries, including the US. The streaming giant, with over 200 million users across the world, has implemented measures to restrict the sharing of accounts outside of the user's own household in an attempt to generate more revenue due to market saturation.

Netflix aims to address the prevalent issue of account sharing, which it believes has impacted more than 100 million households worldwide. At present, the company boasts 232.5 million paying customers globally, as of March.
