    It looks like they are moving to account login verification via SMS or email. Seems like the easiest way around this is to create a shared email that is only used for the netflix account. You could setup auto forwarding to everyone who needs access. Then, everyone can get the verification code as needed.

    its gonna be very hard to stop password sharing, (if not immposible) they could require an email approvel from the account owner everytime someone logs in, but theyd have to remove the remember me feature, but thats also very inconvieniant for the account owner. idk

    Wait isn’t it like one of their main way to make money ? The more people are using your account the more you pay to watch simultaneously ?

      Kind of, but you can have 5 screens but 10 people using the account. The screens just work for simultaneously watching something, which is a bit uncommon for five people to be watching it at the same moment.
