Netflix’s long-anticipated effort to reclaim revenue it has lost due to password sharing has officially arrived in the U.S., with the company notifying subscribers about its new policy via email this week.
After long winking at the practice of passing along log-in credentials during its early anything-for-growth phase, the company has gotten serious about scrutinizing it in recent years. It launched what it prefers to call “paid sharing” earlier this year in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain after a trial last year in a handful of Latin American countries. Strategically, the move to limit free password sharing is tied to the launch last fall of a cheaper, ad-supported subscription tier. Both initiatives are expected to generate billions in new revenue over the next few years.
Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich last week wrote in a research note to clients that the “broader crackdown on password sharing will be an accelerant to Netflix’s ad-supported tier.” With one of two users reporting that they have shared a password, she added, “there is large upside.” Ehrlich has a “buy” rating on Netflix shares, which have risen about 16% in 2023 to date.
Netflix last week revealed it has 5 million monthly active users of its new ad-supported tier. While that’s a tiny fraction of the global total of 232.5 million subscribers, the tally is noteworthy given the ad-free service launched in a dozen territories barely six months ago.
In the notification email to subscribers, the company begins by stating that a Netflix account “is for you and the people you live with — your household.”
Subscribers to the two highest subscription tiers can buy additional users for $7.99 a month on an ad-free plan. The Standard tier,
