Disney Plus Password-Sharing Crackdown Begins: What's Changing And How Much It Costs

After warning members for months now that it would happen, Disney has finally begun to crack down on Disney+ password-sharing in earnest. Beginning this week, Disney no longer is OK with people who share their accounts and will ask users to pay for additional access or create their own new account. If this all sounds familiar, it's because Netflix and others have done similar things in the interest of making more money.

Here's a quick rundown of how paid sharing on Disney+ works, including the associated fees.

The cost

Disney+ subscribers can share their account with family and friends, but this is no longer available for free. Disney said it's always been the case that a Disney+ account is meant to be used within the same household. Obviously, people were sharing accounts with friends and family since the service launched. But those days are coming to an end.
