It's now official: password sharing is over! The measure had been planned for several months and is now applied to all users. We are not yet at the same account sharing system applied by Netflix but we are certainly getting closer!
We've been hearing about it for months: the end of account sharing on Disney+. After many announcements and warnings, the SVoD platform is now starting to tighten the screws in France according to Allopackage. In fact, several subscribers were asked to update their household, as is done at Netflix.

The end of account sharing
If you use devices from two different households (i.e. not with the same IP address) to watch the latest season of Simpsons or Indiana Jones and the Clock of Destinyyou may have received a message “About sharing Disney+ outside your household” or “This TV does not appear to be part of the Disney+ household.”
You are then given the choice of confirming that the device in question is indeed part of the household, resetting the location of the household, indicating that you are traveling or disconnecting the device. In the latter case, it will be proposed to create a new account, knowing that the Disney+ offer with advertisements is currently at 1.99 euros per month for one year before increasing from 5.99 euros per month. This promotion lasts until January 21.
Finally, note that Disney+ has thought about the possibility where subscribers would be tempted to update their household or indicate that they are traveling too often. These steps may be limited.
Account sharing is therefore becoming a thing of the past on Disney+, but should soon become a paid option. The platform is also considering taking inspiration from Netflix and charging an additional cost for each out-of-home member who joins an account. We still do not have the date of implementation of this measure but regarding the cost of this option, Disney+ mentioned a price of 4.99 euros per month for each member.
