Netflix is expanding its password sharing crackdown to over 100 countries including India, Croatia, and Kenya. These countries will also not be allowed to additional users by paying extra money.

The premium streaming service says that its recent password-sharing fees are now live in over 100 countries, and they will be rolled out to almost all of Netflix's remaining markets starting today.
Since Netflix started clamping down on users sharing passwords between households, many said they would cancel their subscriptions. But Netflix may be seeing a sharp increase in new user sign-ups.
Netflix has revealed that account-sharing fees are now going to be enforced in the US. People who are not in the same household but share a Netflix account will be charged $7.99 a month.
Part of the reason for the spending cuts was that Netflix delayed its controversial password-sharing fees from the first to the second quarter of 2023, and it still has not revealed a specific date.
Netflix says a broad rollout of its account-sharing fees will begin sometime in Q2 2023 in the US and other markets. It will also boost the video resolution for its ad-based subscription plan.
