Disney+ is gearing up to implement stricter password sharing checks in the upcoming months, following a recent update to its iOS app. This move comes as part of Disney CEO Bob Iger’s initiative to crack down on unauthorized account access and ensure fair usage of the streaming platform.

Here are some key points to note about Disney’s password sharing crackdown:

– The latest Disney+ iOS app update lays the groundwork for implementing tighter password sharing checks, set to go live in June.
– Disney CEO Bob Iger announced plans for this crackdown during an interview with CNBC, with a broader rollout scheduled for September.
– The decision aligns with similar measures taken by Hulu, another Disney streaming platform, which implemented password sharing restrictions earlier.
– Drawing inspiration from Netflix’s successful password sharing crackdown, Disney aims to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access to user accounts.
– Despite initial losses, Disney remains optimistic about the profitability of its streaming service and expects it to turn a profit in the near future.

Stay tuned for more updates on when these measures will be implemented in Canada, as it is likely to follow a timeline similar to that of the U.S. With these new changes on the horizon, Disney+ users can expect a more secure and protected streaming experience.
