Disney+ to charge for password sharing
This latest subscription price hike comes after it was revealed Disney+ will begin charging users if they share their account with someone outside their household.
The change will mean that the primary account holder will be charged an extra £4.99 a month (nearly £60 a year) if they do share Disney+ with anyone from another household.
The system will work similarly to Netflix’s password-sharing scheme and will offer the chance to ‘buy an extra member’.
