Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) on Tuesday took another step toward cracking down on password sharing by implementing new fees for some customers who want to let people outside their homes use their Netflix (NFLX) accounts. 
In a statement Monday, Chengyi Long, Netflix's (NFLX) director of product innovation said that he company will offer what it calls an "add a home" feature for members in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Customers in Argentina will pay the equivalent of an additional $1.70 a month, while those in the other four countries will pay $2.99 a month in order to use Netflix (NFLX) in homes other than their own. Netflix (NFLX) said that its basic plan members can add one extra home, while standard subscribers can add two extra homes and premium subscribers will be able to add up to three extra homes on their accounts.
The company didn't say anything about expanding the "add a home" feature to subscriber accounts in other countries.
Netflix (NFLX) is scheduled to report its second-quarter results after Tuesday's market close. All eyes are expected to be up on what the company says about the number of subscribers it lost during the quarter, and what it expects for its third-quarter subscriber numbers.
