Starting on November 1st, Disney will begin restricting Disney+ password sharing in Canada, at least, to start.
Password sharing is the ability to use the same username and passwords on the same streaming service from multiple people. Â So, if Jonny went off to college and wanted to use your username and password to login, they could.
But thanks to Netflix doing this earlier this year, now almost all of the streaming services are starting to implement the crackdown.
How does it work?
Each computer on the Internet has an Internet Protocol (IP) Address.  The online service monitors those IP addresses and assigns that to one’s username and password.  Logins are fine as long as that computer is using the same IP Address.  But if the same username and password use a different IP, then the online service won’t allow that computer to sign in.
