Disney Plus will take action against users who are sharing passwords in Canada starting November 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sent emails to Canadian subscribers earlier this week saying it will start restricting password sharing but didnt disclose how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did say it would not allow you to share your account with anyone who does not live under the same roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These users can opt for a cheaper, however ad-supported tier at the same time the new password-sharing guidelines roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precise info<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Unless otherwise permitted by your Service Tier, you may not share your subscription outside of your household,” Disney wrote in its new service agreement for Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By household, it means,\u201dHousehold that is <\/a>the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by individuals that reside therein,\u201d explains a Disney Plus help center post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penalty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of new fee options for users seeking to include individuals from outside their households on their accounts. The forthcoming rule is set to apply universally, with exceptions potentially granted based on the user’s specific service tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix previously initiated measures <\/a>to curb password sharing in the United States and various other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While exact details remain undisclosed, Netflix established a precedent by imposing an additional charge of $8 per extra person, per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Household’ here means the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside therein.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Household here is defined <\/a>as “the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence” and used by the residents of that residence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This indicates that sharing accounts with non-household members will no longer be permitted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
