Spotify Cracks Down on Family Plan Sharing With QR Code Verification

From PC Mag: If you’re on a Spotify Premium Family plan, you may soon be required to verify your membership by scanning a QR code on the plan manager’s phone. The move is part of Spotify’s crackdown on Family plan sharing, and some users have already received a notification to complete the verification.

Plan members are required to take action within seven days of receiving the notification. If they fail to do so, they will have to choose a different Spotify subscription and will be banned from joining a new Family or Duo plan for 12 months, according to an updated support page.

Completing the verification is easy if you and the person you share the Family plan with are in the same place. The plan manager generates a QR code by tapping their profile picture > Your Premium > Manage, and the plan member then scans it to complete the process.
