Your Netflix membership plan may include DVD rentals by mail, streaming video or both. You're able to share this account with members of your household by creating a maximum of four additional profiles; each profile will have its own DVD queue and movie ratings. You can also share your Netflix account password with other people to allow them to watch streaming movies through a computer or Netflix instant viewing device. As the account owner, Netflix holds you responsible for the actions of everyone who uses your account.
