Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions
Netflix password crackdown fuels subscriber surge
I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

I haven't followed the Netflix password news all that closely because I barely ever use Netflix - but when I do use it it's through password sharing an account my sister pays for. That worked as recently as just a week ago.
Should I expect that to stop working soon?
If someone is actively watching something and a second person logs in to the same account and starts watching something, Netflix recognizes it within a minute and displays a message to the second person that logged in stating that someone is already logged in to the account.
As long as you're not watching at the same time as each other, you should be good to go.
Thanks. I doubt that'll ever be an issue for us so it looks like it'll be business as usual.
That’s not how it works. You will be forced to set a “home” for your account, which then IP locks your account for stationary devices. Anyone else not on that IP and not on a mobile device won’t be able to watch.
There is an method if you log on eleswhere ip but you have to "approve" every 24hrs on the primary email or 2fa in app that visits home
Oh. Guess I'll stop watching then. Thanks also.
