Netflix is testing a feature that will make it possible to transfer a specific profile to an entirely new account, potentially as a way to encourage streaming freeloaders to sign up for their own subscriptions, as first reported by Variety<\/em><\/a>. As described in a post on Netflix\u2019s site<\/a>, this feature \u2014 and another that enables you to add sub-accounts<\/a> for people you don\u2019t live with \u2014 is currently being tested in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru.<\/p>\n

Netflix notes that users can transfer profiles to new accounts, or the sub-accounts that subscribers will have to pay an additional fee for. This lets users retain their viewing history, My List, and recommendations when they complete the transfer to a new account. Netflix first rolled out user profiles<\/a> in 2013, which serve as a way to split up watch histories among friends and family members using a single account.<\/p>\n

Last year, Netflix rolled out a test as an attempt to cut down on password sharing<\/a>, which required users to verify account ownership in order to gain access to their accounts. This new test seems to be a way for Netflix to nudge moochers into buying their own subscriptions \u2014 or at least for account owners to pay up for anyone using the service outside their households.<\/p>\n
