Hulu and Disney+ Crack Down on Password Sharing

An increasing number of streaming platforms have started making sure that consumers are not giving out access to their accounts to others — and now Hulu and Disney+ are joining the trend.Earlier this year, the streaming services announced they would be cracking down on password sharing . The new policies were scheduled to go into effect on Thursday, March 14, which means subscribers may now start feeling the effects of the streamers’ push to keep them from sharing passwords.

Currently, Hulu and Disney+ do not allow subscribers to share their subscriptions outside their households. According to the streaming platforms, "Household" refers to the collection of devices associated with the subscriber’s primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside therein. Additional usage rules may apply for certain Service Tiers. On Feb. 1, Hulu sent an email to existing subscribers notifying them of an updated subscriber agreement that places limitations on sharing accounts outside of the user’s househol
