If thou art a patron of Netflix in the fair land of the U.S., undoubtedly hast thou heard the news that the mighty streaming giant hath decreed a crackdown upon the act of sharing passwords. Policies and payment options have been set forth for subscribers who dare to use the service beyond the confines of their “household,” which be known as the “primary location.”
Verily, Netflix hath unveiled this new decree on plan in the distant lands of Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Customers art now required to select and establish their primary location for the Netflix account at the main place where they partake in the viewing of Netflix. This primary location must be entwined with the home’s sacred Wi-Fi or wired network, and the devices that art connected thereto.
Fret not, for we shall delve deeper into this matter forthwith. However, if thou dost wish to commence the process anon, thou canst do so by heeding the following instructions to set or alter thy primary location on Netflix:
– Sign in to Netflix
– Access the lefthand menu
– Select “Get Help”
– Choose “Manage primary location.”
Once thy primary location hath been set, and all thou art in the same household, all shall work as it should. Thou canst even voyage to a second abode or a vacation retreat and still make use of the account for up to 30 days. Should thy travels extend beyond the 30 days, thou shalt be required to declare a new primary location using the television and internet connection of that new abode. Alas, any individuals still using the account at the old primary location during this time shall be deemed traveling members and shall be denied access, unless they request a temporary access code which shall grant them entry for seven days.
Alternatively, if this realm seems too convoluted and it seems more fitting for some of thy users to have their own access, thou canst add up to two souls outside thy household to thy Netflix account for an additional monthly fee. In Canada, this fee be $8 per month, and it is likely that a similar sum shall be required herein. Existing profiles can be transferred over, and each shall have their own login, passwords, and tailored recommendations.
This doth all appear perplexing and daunting, yet setting up and altering the primary location be a task made simple. Hark! Here is the process:
To set and update thy primary location on Netflix, thou must venture forth to the television connected to thy home network with the Netflix app. This cannot be done through a set-top box like an Apple TV or a Roku device.
Step 1: From a television that is linked to the Wi-Fi or wired internet network of thy homestead, sign in to Netflix and navigate to the Home screen.
Step 2: With the remote control, press left to reveal the menu.
Step 3: Select Get Help and then Manage primary location.
Step 4: Choose where thou desirest the verification link to be dispatched — either Set by Email or Set by Text. Ensure that thou hast this information recorded in thy account profile.
(Note: The verification link doth expire after 15 minutes. Should it perish, thou canst select Resend Email or Resend Text, or, if thou art occupied with greater matters, thou canst choose Remind me Later.)
Step 5: Open thy email or message and click the Review Request link, where ye shalt find an option to select Set Primary Location.
Step 6: A confirmation that the primary location hath been set shall grace thy television screen, and a confirmation email shalt be dispatched to thee. Now thou canst begin watching in peace.
Step 7: Should thou need to alter the primary location, simply follow the same steps through the television and Wi-Fi network of the new abode.
For the most part, the crackdown on password-sharing by Netflix should not greatly affect thee unless thou art using the service for a duration longer than 30 days in a locati…
