It is not uncommon to provide, in an outpouring of generosity, the password of his account on a streaming platform to a passing friend. It also happens that, some time later, it is no longer clear who has access to their subscription. If this is your case, we invite you to discover how to clean up on each of the platforms.
Who has never lent their Netflix account to a former partner, or simply a friend who did not want to pay for their subscription? After all, until recently, the streaming platform even encouraged this practice, turning it into a real selling point. One subscription, up to five user profiles. The promise was beautiful, but of course, it is about to end in a few months.
Indeed, it has now been several months since the streaming leader announced that it intends to put an end to account sharing, which should take place in France this summer. Unfortunately, the competition is expected to follow suit, as has been the case for formulas with advertisements. In other words, maybe it’s time for you to sort out all the people who use your account on the streaming subscriptions you pay for.
We therefore suggest that you see one by one the methods that will allow you to disconnect third-party users from your account on each of the most popular streaming platforms. Ready? Let’s go !
