Spotify Tightens Family Plan Sharing Verification

Spotify has confirmed it is strengthening verification checks for its Premium Family Plan, requiring members to prove they live at the same address as the plan manager. The company has described the changes as a routine improvement to its existing systems rather than a crackdown on account sharing. The confirmation came during Spotify’s third-quarter earnings call on October 22, following reports that the streaming platform had begun introducing QR code verification for Family Plan members.
