This feature is especially beneficial for those who were removed from their friend's account due to the password-sharing restrictions. Users can transfer their personalized recommendations, viewing history, watchlist, saved games, and other settings to any Netflix account by selecting the "Transfer Profile" option in the dropdown menu on the homepage.

Netflix Enhances Profile Transfer Feature for Easier Account Switching

Netflix has updated its Profile Transfer feature, allowing users to transfer their data from one existing account to another, addressing a limitation of the previous version that only allowed transfers to new accounts. The feature enables users impacted by Netflix's crackdown on password sharing to easily create their own accounts while retaining personalized recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, and other settings. The company has been actively blocking password sharing by requiring devices to log into the home Wi-Fi network associated with the account at least once every 31 days.
