Netflix is cracking down on users who use one subscription to multiple accounts and locations not in the same household together or not part of a family. The company wants to focus on bringing one account per user, but it would not be the case for some as it is under groups like families or friends to share one. 

Its recent test of the feature in Peru reportedly faced many problems and did not go as planned by the company. 

Netflix Password Sharing: Peru Tests Did Not Go Well

Netflix's Password Sharing tests in Peru did not go as well as the company hoped. It left many users on the platform confused about what Netflix is trying to do with their subscriptions. A report from Rest of World says that the test is not going the way the company aims to present itself as a streaming platform that encourages more people to join. 

The Verge said that several Latin American countries like Peru, Chile, and Costa Rica earlier last March first experienced how the password sharing observation would happen once it comes to the streaming platform. It aims to bring users to get their subscriptions, and in turn, it will help the company's revenue rise and have more users to Netflix.

Will Password-Sharing Continue?

Password sharing is a policy that would likely continue in Netflix as the company wants more people to join in the streaming experience and pay them. The company wants people to avoid joining in on one account and using it for multiple devices under the profiles. 

It is a way for Netflix to gatekeep its services for those that do not pay or get the whole experience without actually paying in full.

However, others prefer to do it this way as they do not use Netflix heavily compared to others and only want to save on their subscriptions. 

Netflix's Subscriptions

Netflix is changing a lot on its subscriptions. It focuses on streamlining its experience for all its users to enjoy the massive platform that brings many aspects of the media giant. One of the company's focuses now is on an ad-supported version that will get a cheaper experience for all while still enjoying the platform. 

The streaming company is changing a lot on its offers for the world, and they are focusing on the subscriptions alone for this, with one being the password-sharing venture that it aims to have. The company previously cracked down on this, with different subscribers saying they got a notice from the platform saying to "get your own Netflix."

With many changes coming to the global streaming platform, people are caught in the middle as some leaves the company's offers and opt for other media giants. Now, Netflix is still enforcing its iron hand on Peru, with many users getting a confusing experience from the company regarding its password-sharing ventures.
