25 Times People Got Too Comfortable With Using Another Person’s Netflix Details and Got What They Deserved
You need to trust whomever you're giving your passwords to, as the risks could be significant.
Netflix has had a "no password sharing" policy for a long time now, but there is still an incredibly high degree of password sharing among family members. However, that does not imply you can share your Netflix login details with just anyone.
You can imagine a scenario where the individual you've shared your password with suddenly becomes overly comfortable with it. I know it continually comes to mind, but it’s not expected that someone close to you will begin siphoning instead of getting their own Netflix streaming plan.
It just so happens that some individuals truly do exchange their pride for $8.99, which they could use to pay for a basic plan. One of the risks that come with password sharing is that one of them is actually the sharing itself.
If you are sharing your password in an insecure manner, for instance, through messages, emails, or another channel where the password is in plain text, there is a danger of it being intercepted or seen by someone who isn’t supposed to see it. We've gathered a few posts from individuals who have experienced the regret of giving their Netflix login details to someone else.

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.
