Disney Plus will soon no longer let you share your password with people outside your household. During an earnings call on Wednesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger said the crackdown will kick off \u201cin earnest\u201d this September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But now, it seems like Disney is pretty serious about rolling out paid sharing to more subscribers in September \u2014 even though it still hasn\u2019t shared details on how much it will cost. Netflix, which rolled out paid sharing last year<\/a>, charges an extra $7.99 per month to add another person to your account. \u201cWe\u2019ve had no backlash at all to the [paid sharing] notifications that have gone out and to the work that we\u2019ve already been doing,\u201d Iger says. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On top of the crackdown, Disney is raising prices across Disney Plus<\/a>, Hulu, and ESPN Plus starting in October. Iger says he\u2019s \u201cnot concerned\u201d about losing subscribers over the price increase since the company is also adding ABC News Live and curated playlists that give the company \u201cpricing leverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
