In April of this year, the CEO of Disney+ announced when the blocking would be applied to shared passwords, an experience present on the streaming platform since its inception. And it was just a few hours ago when announced the end of shared passwords; We even know the amount that will have to be paid for its new sharing function called Extra Access.
Netflix played its cards right to impose a measure that was rejected by many subscribers in a complete change from the experience that has always been offered: having an account to share with friends or family so that everyone can enjoy their streaming platform. But this was finally over and restrictions were imposed to give a clear example of competition in such a fierce sector.
Disney+ followed it faithfully and As of today in Europe it is blocked the ability to share an account for free. That is, if you pass the account to your family members at home and they use it, when you return home, the Netflix account will be disconnected.
Share Payment is now deployed in Europe, the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The cost of Extra Access is 4.99 dollars per month on the Disney Standard package with ads, and you pay a little more with Disney Standard without ads and Disney Premium, 5.99 dollars
Everything remains in the the account holder must define his connection as a place for Disney+ to record activity, IP address and other data. There is an important detail: users who are in the same house under the same WIFi network will be able to use it without any type of barrier.
Of course, and although it is cheaper to access Disney+ with a shared account than to pay independently, has a limit– Only one additional access is allowed per account. A detail related to the viewing history, and which can be read from its website: the account holder can transfer a profile to a new subscription or to Extra Access so that it preserves its history and profile settings.
It was expected that this big change would finally come on the platform and even more so at a time when people tend to spend more time at home to enjoy series and films. It was released just a few days ago Agathe, who else? and until tomorrow you have the possibility to access an exceptional offer of 5.97 dollars to enjoy streaming for three months.
