You need to trust whomever you're giving your passwords to, as the risks could be significant.

Giving out Netflix details has a remarkable opposite; it has turned into a definitive indication of love, friendship, and trust among individuals. Moreover, you need to trust whomever you're giving your passwords to, as the risks could be significant depending on the type of account.
It can range from someone changing your password and keeping you out of your account to outright theft. Anything is possible.
May your streaming account stay in the right hands.
