In order to convert a profile into a separate paying account, follow these steps:
- Click on the profile icon in the top right corner to open a drop-down menu.
- In the drop-down menu, select the new Transfer Profile option.
- On the next page, Netflix will ask you to enter a fresh email address that will be linked to the ejected profile and the password for logging in to that new account.
- Once those details have been furnished, proceed to the payment details page and finish the new account setup.
Netflix says that the Profile Transfer feature will be released globally starting today, and users will be notified about its availability via email. The feature is optional and can be turned off. The official press release takes a very benign approach to explaining how “your Netflix profile be a constant in a life full of changes,” but in reality, the company has been dreaming of ways to tackle the password-sharing problem that was eating into its revenues.
The streaming goliath has even experimented with a feature that will let users turn a profile into a sub-account. The key benefit here is that instead of paying a full subscription fee for a solo membership, the sub-account will pay a slightly lower subscription fee. Netflix has also been warning users via prompts, asking them to verify whether they are members of the same household if they log in to the account from a different location.
