“Love is sharing a password.”

Considering Netflix was the first major app to crack down onsharing passwords, it’s hard to believe that they actually tweeted this statement eight years ago, and the post is actuallystill live to this day.

Though you might not be able to share yourNetflixpassword anymore, there are still a few apps that allow users to share accounts as freely as (apparently) their love. The list may be dwindling, but as of 2025, here are the major streamers who don’t mind if you give your cousin, your aunt or even your sweetie your password.

Streaming service algorithms don’t actually do what you think

Netflix is in the business of keeping you hooked, promoting content that matches your viewing habits.

The whole family can watch The Office

For quite a long time Peacock was the app my family used to watch The Office and that was basically it. However, I have to give NBCUniversal some props as there is a lot more content nowadays on the streamer. From blockbuster movies like Wicked: Part One and Nosferatu to fun original series like The Traitors, there’s actually quite a bit to watch on the streamer, and with the app allowing for three concurrent streams regardless of location, everyone can find something to watch on the app together.

As long as you’re in the family sharing group, you’re A-OK

New data shows the algorithm matters more to you than your friends

F is for friends who do stuff together

Paramount Plus

Of all the streaming apps on this list, Paramount+ is actually the easiest to share with a friend as the app specifically allows for three alternate devices and user profiles outside a single household. So no matter whether you want to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, Star Trek, or even the newest Transformers movie, if you’ve got a buddy with a Paramount+ subscription, you’re in business!

Welcome to the family

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video may not be the world’s most-watched streaming service, but it is the onemost likely to show you ads, which is perhaps why the streamer doesn’t really mind if you share your account. In order to get the most out of sharing a Prime Video subscription, users can simply add another adult to their Amazon Family household and they’ll be able to stream all of Amazon Prime’s exclusive content, including Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Hazbin Hotel and The Wheel of Time.

Apple TV keeps losing ground in the streaming wars for the dumbest reason

The Apple TV 4K is great, but can it really be considered the best?
