Netflix has launched a new feature called ‘manage access and devices’ in account settings. The ability will let users track the latest devices that have streamed from an account and allow the subscribers to log out from specific devices with just a click.
The platform has been cracking down on password sharing in recent months.
According to a TechCrunch report, the move could help the video streaming platform push more freeloaders to become subscribers. Netflix recently launched a profile transfer feature to combat account sharing.
