Netflix rolls out password sharing crackdown in US and Australia.

Netflix will begin sending emails to members who are sharing their account information outside of their households in the US. Account members who subscribed to standard or premium plans will be allowed to share their password outside their household for an additional $7.99 per month. The company first announced a crackdown on password sharing last year after a decline in subscribers amid an increase in competition. Households will still be able to enjoy entertainment through features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices.
