Disney+ is implementing new restrictions to prevent password sharing among users. An email obtained by The Verge revealed that subscribers in the United States are being presented with updated Terms of Service that will make it more difficult for unauthorized users to access the platform using someone else’s login credentials.
The updated Service Agreement defines a household as “the collection of devices associated with the subscriber’s primary personal residence used by the individuals who reside therein.”

Subscribers were informed that Disney will restrict account sharing beyond the subscriber’s household, and will monitor account usage to ensure compliance with the new terms.
The new agreement is already in place for new subscribers in the US and Canada, and will impact existing members starting on March 14th. This change also extends to Hulu, another streaming service owned by The Walt Disney Company.
This update comes shortly after Disney+ raised prices for the second time in 13 months, with the ad-free tier now priced at $13.99 per month, while the ad-supported tier is available for $7.99 per month.
