Netflix has recently announced that it will be cracking down on password sharing by requiring each account to be under the same household. This means that if you’ve been sharing your Netflix password with friends or family who don’t live with you, they may no longer be able to use your account.
However, there is a workaround that may allow you to continue sharing your Netflix password, even if you don’t live with the people you’re sharing it with. All you have to do is change your Wi-Fi name to match the name of the Wi-Fi network that the main Netflix user uses.
Netflix uses a variety of factors to determine whether or not two devices are part of the same household, including IP address, device type, and location. However, Wi-Fi name is also a factor that Netflix considers.
So, if you change your Wi-Fi name to match the name of the Wi-Fi network that the main Netflix user uses, Netflix will be more likely to think that your device is part of the same household.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to change your Wi-Fi name:
- Log in to your router’s admin panel.
- Look for the section where you can change your Wi-Fi name.
- Enter the same Wi-Fi name as the main Netflix user’s Wi-Fi network.
- Click Save or Apply.
Once you have changed your Wi-Fi name, you should be able to log into Netflix and use your account, even if you’re not on the same Wi-Fi network as the main Netflix user.
It’s important to note that this workaround may not work forever. Netflix is constantly developing new ways to detect and prevent password sharing. However, for now, it seems to be a working workaround.
Please note: It is important to check with the main Netflix user before changing their Wi-Fi name. As changing the Wi-Fi name can disrupt their internet service.
