For those who don't know, almost a year ago the Netflix launched a global functionality that allows you to see all recently used devices on your account.
In other words, it will now be possible to see who was connected, on what device, and at what time. Called “Manage access and devices”, it is available in the “Account” settings of your profile.
In practice, there is still an important addition to this new functionality in addition to the already mentioned “monitoring” of logins: the possibility of expelling or disconnecting active accounts with a single click.
BUT: Netflix makes GTA III, San Andreas and Vice City available to subscribers
According to Netflix, the new feature was "long requested” by its members and will give its subscribers “even more control over your account“. The giant of streaming It also makes it known that it is something that will be very useful in the coming times, a time that brings hustle and bustle, travel and festivities.
"With the hustle and bustle of Christmas just around the corner, many of our members will certainly be traveling to visit family and friends, and may want to watch Netflix wherever they are.“, it can be read in a post on the official blog, reiterating in conclusion that “logging into your account at a hotel or at a friend's house is easy and intuitive, but many people forget to log out".
However, there are those who remember other possibilities. If the official example was taken into account the control of friends and families on vacation, the entertainment site IndieWire chooses to remember — with a photo illustration alluding to the series “You”, in which the protagonist is a stalker-murderer-psychopath — that Netflix “introduces new functionality to kick your ex out of your account".
On another note, the same article highlights that there is an unpublicized objective in the shadows of this possibility of expelling anyone: is another way to combat password sharing (The terms of service clauses state that accounts can only be used by people who belong to the same household). The sharing of passwords This is a big problem for Netflix, which estimates that there are more than 100 million homes using its service, but which do not pay (to the platform, of course, as there are many who pay the subscriber with whom they share the bill) for access your services.
