    Weirdly, I’ve been using my parents’ Netflix credentials still and haven’t been kicked off yet. They live hours away so there’s no mistake there about being in the same household.

    Hopefully I’m not tempting fate too much by talking about it on the Internet lol

      Plot twist: Your parents can’t access their Netflix anymore but aren’t tech savvy enough to understand why, so they’re back at watching classic broadcast television.

        Lol I was actually wondering something similar. That, or they haven’t said anything out of fear of sounding rude.

        I talk to them regularly though, and told my dad that I’m still logged in and watching it, so I hope he would have said something if it wasn’t working…

      A relative I share an account with got the prompt last month. I setup a VPN at my place so they could connect once a month and “check in” at home with their mobile app. After that they could disconnect and continue watching on their Roku.

      My brother is on my account in a different state and neither he nor I have been booted. Hoping we just got missed and they’ll never notice.
