On November 1st, Disney+ in Canada will start limiting password sharing. The region’s subscribers were informed through email that sharing accounts with anybody outside of their “household” would soon be outlawed. In this context, the term “household” refers to the hardware connected to a primary personal address used by individuals residing in the same home. The announcement isn’t quite clear, but I have the idea that non-household members could be considered to be part of the ‘household’ if they sign in at the main account holder’s home? Disney does not provide information on how it intends to enforce this rule, but it does pledge to constantly watch account activity to determine if users are abiding by it.Indeed, access to the streaming service may be restricted or even cancelled if Disney+ becomes aware of or suspects that some of its customers are infringing the law. According to the amended agreement (via MobileSyrup), “You will be responsible for any use of your account by your household, including compliance with this section.” The company has the “technical capability” to keep track of those sign-ins, Disney CEO Bob Iger said during the company’s Q3 2023 earnings call last month. Iger also acknowledged that his team was aware that a “significant” number of users had been sharing passwords with friends and relatives. He hinted at the possibility of a crackdown starting in 2024 at the time, but it appears Disney+ may have gotten ahead of itself a little.
