It’s possible that you’ve already heard, but Netflix wants to stop password sharing. Netflix will therefore start charging users for password sharing.
You must transfer your profile to your own account if you presently have a profile on someone else’s account and you don’t intend them to pay the future password-sharing fees to keep your profile active. Otherwise, your recommendations, save list, and other settings will be lost forever.
We’ll teach you how to locate and enable Netflix’s Transfer Profile function on your profile as well as how to move your current profile to a different account in this guide.
