Starting in September of this year, Disney Plus will begin restricting password sharing.
The company is expected to introduce paid sharing options in the US shortly.
In related news, Disney is also increasing prices for its streaming services, including Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu, beginning in October.
If you thought Netflix was the only streaming platform cracking down on account sharing, think again! Disney Plus, another streaming giant, will soon begin restricting your ability to share passwords with those outside your primary household.
According to The Verge, this was confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Iger during a recent earnings call, in which he mentioned the crackdown would begin in September of this year. The company’s streaming business has become profitable for the first time, per the earnings results for Q3. Disney has reportedly made something to the tune of $47 million from its streaming platforms — Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu.
 In what seems to be a double whammy for streamers, Disney will increase its prices and crack down on password sharing.Â
