It’s absurdly easy to look at the saved Firefox passwords, so that’s no excuse. But obviously you would be breaking a trust by giving it out.

Plus, Netflix limits the number of different devices which can access one account, to four I think. People have learned the hard way that when they try to use a fifth (over the course of a year, not just simultaneously) it is rejected and it may be up to a year before the previous devices drop off Netflix’s active list. (Though I heard that has been reduced to a month now.)

For me, Netflix streaming video on computer is perfect. I watch the streaming videos all the time. Not up close though. I like laying in my bed to watch movies. I can pause the movie whenever I need to. There are no commercials. Best of all is that I can choose what I want to watch, unlike cable (you get the package, but not the choice of channels line up, and I don’t watch enough television to make it worth the money). I do wish they had more variety in the streaming line because I have watched pretty much everything there is of any interest. I watch a LOT of movies, and a wide variety of genres.

Some people may have to purchase a box of some sort for streaming to their television, but a lot of people already have equipment they can use. All on has to do is check on Netflix’s web site to see. Hint: game stations

Also, in our economic situation, Netflix is, by far, less expensive than cable. Whichever membership package you choose includes streaming to your computer as well as television (if you choose).

I don’t know it, she typed it in and Firefox ‘remembers’ it. Plus, its not mine to give out…and I don’t think you will find someone that will give theirs out to someone they don’t know.

Well just like Red Box would you or any one like to see a end to the way they do business because too many users are not being honest? I don’t see so much wrong being if you were to loan a dvd to someone to see and then you return it but to share your log in name etc is dishonest.

I found a way to get this for free…
A friend was visiting me and she has an unlimited Netflix subscription, she logged into her account on my TV Computer and clicked ‘remember password’ and now I have full access to all of Netflix Streaming collection in my living room for as long as she is a member….or until I reformat my C drive.
Netflix allows this because they will assume users may have multiple computers or IP addresses, so there is no way for Netflix to stop it, is there?
True, sharing passwords means the account owner will have to trust that the users are not screwing with their queue of movies…which is why no one will post their password online, but I don’t see why people won’t share with their friends…
