Disney Plus Password Sharing Rules Explained
Jul. 31, 2024When is Disney Plus Password Sharing Ending?
The new restrictions on Disney Plus password sharing are already in action. If you reside inCanada, theUS, or theUK, you can no longer share passwords with your friends. You can only watch content on different profiles when all of them are under the same roof. This restriction will soon expand to other countries.
As stated in the agreement, a user cannot share their account with people other than the ones residing in the house where the user lives. For example, you could have the account on different devices of different people in your house but cannot give it to, say, your friend who stays a few blocks away from you. You’re good until people in your household are using the service.
How will it know if someone is in the same household?
It’s similar toNetflix. This means, Disney Plus may gather yourIP address,device information, andlocation datato identify if your account is being used by someone else. If Disney finds out that your account is being accessed at a different location, itmay restrict, suspend, or terminateyour access to all Disney+ services.
Disney CEO says they’re exploring ways to make accounts more accessible and shareable with other people. The platform could potentially offer the ability toadd members at extra cost, but no official announcement has been made about it.
We’re not sure about this, but considering how the password-sharing rules resemble Netflix’s, we’re guessing the process of watching your shows on Disney Plus when on vacation will be the similar. Netflix sends you a 7-day (14-day in some regions) access code when away from home, and Disney Plus could probably do the same.
And for those wondering about using the service with a VPN, Disney Plus doesn’t work with a VPN and instantly blocks IP addresses of VPN services.
