Disney+ announced that it will launch Tighten password sharing starting November 1, 2023This means people who don’t live under the same roof can no longer share accounts for the streaming site. If this reminds you of anything, it’s because Netflix had already implemented such rules on its own service a few months ago.
The Walt Disney Company began sending emails to subscribers this week notifying them of changes to the streaming platform’s user agreement that include “restrictions on account sharing.” Terms state that account holders cannot share subscriptions outside of their householddefined as all devices associated with your primary personal residence and its occupants “.
No more applause for account sharing on Disney+
Additionally, the deal hints that Disney+ will introduce new products Fees for subscribers who want to add non-household members to their account. “The agreement also states that the new rules will apply to all subscribers.” unless otherwise specified by your service level “. This may point to a separate layer that allows password sharing, but we’re not sure.
For now these new restrictions will only affect users in Canada i.e. only after 1well NovemberFrench users will be able to continue sharing their passwords. This measure is expected to be generalized early next year. This is expected to have a positive impact on the company’s subscriber count, as Netflix has noticed a significant increase in the number of customers subscribing to its service.
On November 1, Disney+ users in Canada and parts of Europe will also have access to a cheaper, ad-supported version of the streaming service, which has been available in France since 2022. That’s probably small consolation to those about to be kicked out. from their parents’ or friends’ Disney+ accounts.
