Spotify Says Family Plan Verification Will Continue as It Tightens Account-Sharing Rules

If you use Spotify's Premium Family Plan, you have only seven days to verify your address or you could be barred from joining any Family or Duo plan for a year, affecting your access to shared music services.
Spotify has confirmed that it is strengthening verification methods for its Premium Family Plan. The company recently started a QR code-based process to check whether members live at the same address as the plan manager. Users have seven days after receiving a notification to complete the verification. Members who miss the deadline can not join another Family or Duo plan for 12 months.
Spotify's Premium Family Plan lets up to six people at the same residence share a single subscription at a reduced cost, and the company is now using QR codes to confirm that members actually live together.
