What Will Happen If You Share Your Disney+ Passwords

If you've shared your Disney + password already, you definitely need to read this article!

Look, Disney isn't new to the entertainment game, maybe to streaming platforms but they know sharing passwords is a thing!

via The Verge:

The service is meant to be enjoyed by everyone in your household, but there will also likely be people who share their passwords with friends across the country.

Disney seems to be okay with this scenario — to a point.

“Password sharing is definitely something we think about,” Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services, said during a Disney+ media preview last week. According to Paull, Disney is hopeful that customers will recognize just how much they’re getting for $6.99 per month (free 4K/HDR, unlimited downloads, etc.) and use the service within reason.

“We believe that consumers will see that value, and they’re going to act accordingly,” he said. “They’re going to use those accounts for their family, for their household. That being said, we do recognize password sharing exists and will continue to exist.”

But Disney has tools at its disposal if password sharing gets out of hand or becomes an obstacle that stunts Disney+’s growth. “We have created some technology that’s in the backend that we will use to understand behavior,” Paull said. “And when we see behavior that doesn’t make sense, we have mechanisms that we’ve put in place that will deal with it.”

The company obviously knows what devices you’re using to stream the service. If that list of hardware grows unusually long for a single account, there’s one red flag Disney could take into account.

Disney+ does not ask for location permissions when used on mobile devices, but it can’t be all that difficult for the company to approximate your general region through its data servers and other backend methods.

But even if it does have measures in place to combat excessive password sharing, Disney doesn’t want to turn the dial to a point where things become annoyingly restrictive for customers, so for now, you’re probably okay to let your friends and family get a sample of Disney+.

You're basically good for now, but it's still not legal!

So share at your own risk.
