Netflix bans password sharing in UAE

Dubai: Residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can no longer share their Netflix passwords outside their homes.

The streaming giant has officially cracked down on password sharing, and a representative from Customer Service confirmed that the restriction has been implemented in the UAE starting today.

Now, only members living in the same household can share their Netflix passwords and use a single account, the representative stated.

For instance, it cannot be used in neighboring homes.

In India, Netflix has also announced the end of password sharing.

To enforce this policy, Netflix is sending emails to users who are sharing their accounts with people outside their homes in India.

Password-sharing restrictions were already in place in over 100 countries, including important markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Singapore, Mexico, and Brazil.
