In an attempt to save some money, many of us have resorted to the age-old practice of sharing accounts with friends. However, this trend may soon come to an end as Netflix recently implemented stricter measures to prevent account sharing, resulting in increased user numbers and revenue. Following suit, Disney+ is now preparing to crack down on password sharing, with the rollout scheduled to commence on March 14. It seems that the era of shared passwords is approaching its inevitable end.

The speculation surrounding Disney’s + efforts to combat account and password sharing has persisted for a while. Despite the absence of an official statement, there have been reports suggesting that the company was preparing to tackle this matter. However, the latest disclosure does not originate from Disney+, but rather from an email dispatched to Hulu users, another digital content platform within The Walt Disney Company’s portfolio.

Currently, Disney+ not restrict password sharing, so you can use at time but when company provide legal notice at time you can’t share account with your friends and family further.
Nevertheless, there are plans to introduce a system akin to Netflix’s, which limits sharing to devices within the confines of a single household for a designated duration. The reasoning behind this decision becomes evident when taking into account the staggering $11 billion loss incurred by Disney+ since its inception in November 2019.
Until March 14th, users can continue sharing accounts without restrictions.
