Answer

Netflix's password sharing policy has evolved over time. In 2016, Reed Hastings stated that Netflix had no plans to make any changes to password sharing and considered it something to live with due to legitimate sharing (2016-10-17). Greg Peters echoed this sentiment in 2017, stating that password sharing was not a huge issue and that Netflix was not prioritizing significant measures to stem it (2017-10-16). By 2022, Spencer Neumann noted that Netflix was still working through the ultimate solution for account sharing (2022-04-19). In 2023, Greg Peters reported that the last country rollouts for password sharing had gone well and were consistent with earlier results in Latin America (2023-04-18). Most recently, in 2024, Netflix acknowledged that cutting off non-paying viewers from password sharing would result in some loss of viewing hours (2024-04-18). However, the evidence does not provide a clear, current stated policy on password sharing for 2024.
