Freeloaders, beware. Disney+ is kicking off its crackdown on password-sharing on Nov. 1, starting with Canada.
The streaming service announced the move in an email sent to Canadian subscribers and obtained by MobileSyrup on Sept. 27.
The message primarily focuses on the launch of its ad-supported membership and the updates on the streaming service's agreement. Included in the updates is the warning that Disney+ is soon "implementing restrictions in account sharing" that, although stated in its previous guidelines, was never really enforced on its subscribers.
That is why starting Nov. 1, all users in Canada are no longer allowed to share their passwords outside of their household "unless otherwise permitted by your service tier."
"'Household' means the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside therein," the company clarified in the email.
