Spotify Introduces QR Code Verification for Premium Family Plan Members
Spotify has begun requiring some members of its Premium Family plan to verify their residency with the account holder using a QR code, according to an update on Spotify's support page. The verification process aims to ensure that only individuals who live together are sharing one family subscription, preventing unauthorized users from benefiting financially by splitting costs among non-household members. This move is part of Spotify’s broader effort to combat plan abuse and maintain the integrity of its pricing model for families. If a user fails or refuses this verification process, they may face consequences such as being banned from using the service for up to one year. The change has been reported by 9to5Google based on an internal support page update.
