Netflix Leaks New Password Policy

Netflix ($NFLX@US) mistakenly leaked its new password policy for some countries on Wednesday. It stated on its Help Center page that users would have to connect to Wi-Fi networks at their “primary location” once every 31 days to ensure their devices still have access to their accounts. Devices not associated with the account’s primary location may be blocked from Netflix unless the account owner pays more to add an extra member. After sparking outrage among its users, Netflix acknowledged the error, saying the policy hadn’t been implemented yet and that it only applied in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. The company has not given a date for the policy change to apply to its 30 million users in the U.S. and Canada.
