Disney+ will crack down on password sharing this year, boss says

Disney+ is to begin cracking down on password sharing later this year in an effort to boost sign-ups and revenue for the service.

Disney chief executive Bob Iger said in an interview with American network CNBC that the streaming platform would start taking action against the behavior from June in some countries, and then a "full rollout" in September.

Many major streaming services are impacted by password sharing – where users share their log-in details with family and friends not in the same household, enabling them to access content without paying for it – despite it being against platform rules.
