Netflix has confirmed its crackdown on password sharing will be rolled out immediately.
Bosses of the streaming service said the tightening of its rules will begin in the US before being rolled out across other countries. Harsher restrictions are expected to reach the UK between April and June, meaning password sharing will be banned by July.
Under the current rules, Netflix subscribers are told they're not supposed to share their passwords with people outside their household. However, this hasn't stopped users from giving their account details to friends and family so they can save money.
