What is the solution for shared custody of children? I have three kids that spend half their time at their moms. Are their Spotify and Netflix accounts (and mine) going to get shutoff? Is there some sort of appeal process?
According to the article you can just verify through a code that any devices are yours.
My hunch is this is only going to cull the second layer and beyond of password sharing (people you wouldn’t feel comfortable texting and asking for the verification code).
“Please Relogin” doesn’t give you the message that they’re on to what you’re doing. I don’t assume anything when I’m asked to login again. Guilt can be a powerful motivator for people who share accounts because many of them know that you’re not really supposed to do it, but it’s been more or less tolerated.
Would assume on that it’s because many people probably have the password memorized or written down somewhere as opposed to having to proactively ask someone for the verification code.
I'm the main account on a Spotify family account. One or two times in the past five years they have asked all the members of the family plan to enter the home address on the account. Technically we're all supposed to live together, but we never have. They've never done anything about it, even though it's very obvious by looking at location or IP address. Maybe it'll be a similar gentle reminder by Netflix
