Netflix has started cracking down on password sharing in Ireland.
Irish users will be receiving an email from the streaming app about the new rules that have been put in place. Under these guidelines, a Netflix account can only be used by people living in a single household.
However, if customers want to add someone from outside the household they'll have to pay an extra €4.99 a month. However, customers will not be automatically charged extra but will need to opt-in for it, the Irish Mirror reports.

Those in the household can still use Netflix wherever they are, including on holiday or on the go. In a statement, Netflix said: "Starting today, we will be sending this email to members who are sharing Netflix outside their household in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
"A Netflix account is for use by one household. Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are – at home, on the go, on holiday – and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices.
"We recognise that our members have many entertainment choices. It’s why we continue to invest heavily in a wide variety of new films and TV programmes – so whatever your taste, mood or language and whoever you’re watching with, there’s always something satisfying to watch on Netflix."
