Disney+ Implements Strict Password Sharing Rules in Canada

Disney+ will implement stricter measures against password sharing in Canada starting November 1, restricting users from sharing their accounts with people outside their households unless they pay additional fees. The move follows Netflix's crackdown on password sharing earlier this year. Disney+ will introduce new fee options for adding outside members to accounts, similar to Netflix's $8 per extra person, per month charges. Disney CEO Bob Iger had previously targeted 2024 to address account sharing, but the bans in Canada are coming ahead of schedule. It remains unclear how Disney+ will enforce the ban on mobile devices and when it will extend to other regions. Additionally, Canadian and European users will gain access to Disney+'s ad-supported tier on November 1.
