By Disney has officially launched their password and account-sharing crackdown program.
Launched in the U.S. and many other regions globally this week, the ‘paid sharing program’ is akin to that used by Netflix as the company tries to migrate users sharing accounts over to their own subscriptions.
In a posting explaining the system, people sharing an account with someone outside their household can add that person as an ‘Extra Member’ for $6.99 per month for Disney+ Basic, or $9.99 for Disney+ Premium.
One key rule is that only one Extra Member will be allowed per account, and said option is not available as part of the Disney Bundle.
Users sharing an account can also subscribe to Disney+ themselves, and transfer an eligible profile to the new account to keep their watch history and settings.
The Disney+ service will automatically detect and establish your Household based on your subscription activity, linked devices, and internet connection among other factors.
If you are watching outside your household, you may need to enter a one-time password to verify you are either going to add a location or that you are travelling away from home.
Disney+ is set to raise prices on most of its plans next month. Netflix had big success with its password-sharing crackdown last year as plenty of people signed on while cancellations were low.
