Netflix will start cracking down on account sharing in India and other markets such as Indonesia, Croatia, and Kenya starting July 20, as the video streaming major looks to boost its revenue growth in the second half of 2023.

They should've launched the Ad-supported plan first. Then password sharing would've decreased on its own to some extent.

Users in a ‘Netflix Household’, meaning ones who use the same internet connection, will be allowed to access the account in the basic plan..

Netflix said it will restrict one account to a single household in India, along with other markets including Kenya, Indonesia and Croatia. The users who are part of ‘Netflix Household, meaning the ones who are using the same internet connection, will be allowed to access the account.

Only basic plan? Basic supports only 1 stream anyway. What about the other plans?

I think Basic Plan means the Main Plan which the owner subscribed..hopefully premium plan as it can be shared with multiple users...
