I regret that I canceled already due to the October '23 price doubling, so I can no long illustrate my displeasure at this bullshit.
Back to the pirate life I guess.
Litterally this. I won’t (and most people won’t) feel morally wrong once I stop paying for Disney’s content.
I mean if you were sharing someone’s password, wouldn’t you already not be paying? If you were paying for an account, you would have your own password so this would not be an issue.
I’m not pointing this out to be “pro Disney” because I couldn’t give a half-shit there, but I always have to remind people that password sharing is bad security and shouldn’t be done.
I have 2 homes, I’m not paying for Hulu twice.
Haha let me play the world’s smallest violin for your sad situation there.
I have only one home, but I actually did pay for Hulu twice by accident when I realized that 2 of us had an active account. Canceled the extra one immediately so I’m only paying for one. But it was only about $8 per month for a few months, so I didn’t quite starve.
I mean that situation describes almost any student in higher education, along with people in long term relationships who are yet to move in together - frankly those two cases more than likely make up the majority of people with two homes
As long as you segregate credentials and whichever service you’re sharing doesn’t expose any critical data like cc info what’s the risk?
That’s the thing, it’s usually just the one set of credentials and it has access to everything. Although to be fair they don’t store the actual CC details anymore, just bank tokens.
Then take on yourself to help educate whoever doesn’t create a specific set of credentials to share accounts… But as we said back then - sharing is caring.
Reinforcing bad habits
What bad habit? Proving entertainment to your loved ones on the house? Because as long as the account is created specifically for the purpose of being shared there’s absolutely no bad habit in that…Being generous is considered cool no?
Turns out most were seemingly glad to comply when Netflix pulled that bs so I’ll be legitimately shocked if most major streaming services don’t follow suit within the next few months. I’m glad my seafaring ass hasn’t had to deal with that kind of annoyance in years lol.
I don’t share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn’t let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.
Argh!!
Yo-ho yo-ho
They waited for Netflix results first =_=
Are they also starting a crackdown on people just having a password? It seems like every few weeks I have to go through the password recovery process because it thinks my password is wrong. So I set it back to what I had saved, rinse and repeat.
Are you sure your account isn’t comprimised? Change it to something other than what it used to be and see if it happens again.
Pretty sure I’ve tried both ways. I’m using a unique password and I don’t see any other indications of the account being compromised. I think Disney just sucks at IT.
I see. It’s just that I’ve had disney plus for many years and ive never had to change the password. Ever. I also work in IT and i believe its far more likely theres an issue at your end.
When you say its a unique password, what do you mean by that? Because if someone else knows the password then it doesnt matter if its unique. Also if they are resetting it then its more likely that they have access to your email account that is linked to disney.
I would have a look at a site like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your accounts have been comprimised.
did you also change it on your mail account?

Is technology really where this should be posted? I don’t see any correlation and it waters down from actual technology. !entertainment@lemmy.world !moviesandtv@lemmy.film !television@lemmy.world
So what exactly constitutes this crackdown? Do they tie the login to your phone’s MAC address?
Disney is the First Order
It was only a matter of time
