New tests starting in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Argentina another password sharing measure also showed. Users in these countries can access their Netflix account. when they try to access it from a location other than their own home They will have to pay an extra fee.

Additional $3 will be required for access from different homes

According to the details shared by Bloomberg, users who want to access their Netflix account from a different location, Will have to buy additional ‘houses’ for $2.99. Fortunately, this precaution will not appear the first time you try to log into your account from another home.

The ‘buy home’ feature on Netflix will be mandatory if your account has been used in a different home for more than two weeks. On mobile devices, there will be no such limitation.
