the company wrote in an updated Help Center document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In case of attempted login from outside<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now we know that with the new change anyone sharing an account across multiple locations will be charged additionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a new device associated with the primary account is trying to log in from a different address, the user will have to enter a four digit verification code emailed\/texted to the subscriber within 15 minutes to gain access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this, the device attempting to gain access from somewhere else will have uninterrupted access to the account for the next seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix will track IP addresses, device IDs and account activity to verify devices claiming to be under the same roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In case of travel or change in location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users travelling with the primary device will not face any login issues while at a different location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they may occasionally be requested for device verification if they are away from the primary household for an &#8220;extended period of time&#8221; \u2014 presumably exceeding 31 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case Netflix says that &#8220;your device may be blocked from watching Netflix.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to continue watching the user will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/netflix-password-sharing-how-to\">request <\/a>a temporary access code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix reassured that \u201cusers won\u2019t be automatically charged\u201d when caught sharing passwords with people outside the household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reasoning behind the new changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will likely be careful about its next move before enforcing any drastic measures upon its user base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also specified that the number of devices which can stream simultaneously will depend on the chosen plan, same as earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix has previously shared that over 100 million households reportedly availed the benefits of a shared password significantly impacting the company\u2019s revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an effort to stem the losses incurred, the streaming service had launched a new advertising-supported tier called the new &#8220;Basic with Ads&#8221;
