New Netflix Feature Lets You Kick People Off Your Account
If you're tired of sharing your Netflix account and are too nice to change your password, Netflix has a new solution for you.
The company has been experimenting with a range of features lately, given its problems with password sharing. Netflix is attempting to retain subscribers after reporting first loss of subscribers in April, 2022.
Netflix's goal: Limiting password sharing
Netflix's upcoming features will charge users extra if they actively share their passwords with people outside of their household. But before that feature is rolled out, Netflix is giving users a chance to kick people off their accounts.
"Today, we're launching Managing Access and Devices, a new feature in Account Settings that allows you to view all the recent devices that have streamed from your account and to log out of specific devices with just one click," Product Manager of Product Innovation at Netflix, Charles Wartemberg wrote in the post.

"This much-requested feature to help members manage their account security is now available to all members around the world on the web, iOS and Android," Wartemberg added.
With this, Netflix is offering users a chance to log out of specific devices without having to change your password. This feature can be especially handy if you've shared your password with multiple people.

Password sharing is anyway coming to an end on Netflix. The company plans to charge extra for those who use the same account in different regions. We're unsure how Netflix will ascertain who is part of a single household and who isn't, but it'll be interesting to observe what subscribers think of this move by Netflix.
