Enhancing Security Measures: Disney+ Set to Introduce Account Protection and Password Sharing Prevention System Starting June this Year in Select Countries.

Disney had previously announced plans to implement measures to prevent users from sharing or selling Disney+ passwords starting in 2024, but without specifying a timeline. Most recently, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed in an interview with CNBC that the password-sharing prevention system will launch in June, initially in a few countries before expanding globally in September. The functionality will resemble Netflix’s approach, where if simultaneous viewing from different locations is detected, users will be prompted to sign up for a linked account with an additional fee. However, Iger did not disclose details regarding the pricing for this service.

In the United States, Disney+ has just announced the addition of content from Hulu, another streaming platform owned by Disney, increasing the variety of content available on the platform.

TLDR: Disney is set to implement a password-sharing prevention system for Disney+ starting in June, similar to Netflix’s approach, with a global rollout planned for September. Additionally, Disney+ in the US will see an increase in content by adding content from Hulu.
