Disney+ Offering Paid ‘Extra Member’ Option as Part of Anti-Password Sharing Measures

Disney+ is now cracking down on password sharing, implementing new policies aimed at turning shared accounts into paying subscribers.

Disney+ has introduced paid account-sharing options in several regions, including the U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe and Asia. This new feature allows subscribers to add additional profiles to their accounts for family members or friends who live outside their household.

Disney+ subscribers in the U.S. can now add an “Extra Member” to their account for an additional fee. This allows them to share their account with one friend or family member who doesn’t live with them. The cost is $6.99 for Disney+ Basic and $9.99 for Disney+ Premium.

However, this option is not available for Disney Bundle subscribers or those billed through a third party. Additionally, Disney+ account holders can transfer eligible profiles to new subscriptions or add them as Extra Members to preserve their settings and watch history. Travelers can still access Disney+ using a one-time passcode.

Disney plans to extend its anti-password sharing measures to Hulu and ESPN+. The company’s updated terms of service state that they may limit or terminate access to their services if password sharing is detected. CEO Bob Iger has indicated that the impact of these measures won’t be felt until 2025. Disney first announced their plans to combat password sharing during their Q3 2023 earnings call.

Will you be adding any “extra members” to your Disney+ subscription?
