Netflix laid out plans on Wednesday to crack down on password sharing for accounts on its streaming platform, including setting up primary location and paying more for an extra member.

The video-streaming giant, which has estimated that 100m people around the world use a shared account, said that members can now easily manage who has access to their account, transfer profile to a new account, and still easily watch Netflix on their personal devices or log into a new TV.
