This Is The Streaming Service Most Likely To Allow You To Share Passwords…For Now

Many streaming services giants have been eliminating the potential for users to share passwords with each other — sometimes even if they’re within the same family.

Gone are the days of splitting the cost of a streaming service with a friend (or two); at least if you stick with the major streaming service giants.

There are still a select few streaming services that are easier to work around than others. Prime Video, for example, still allows password sharing, though these are supposed to be limited to family members within the same household only. There is a limit on the amount of devices that can use Prime Video at once, too, depending on your location; however, these restrictions at least still allow users to work within the same account. 

Apple TV+ and Peacock both promote family sharing, but it’s difficult to share your account with someone outside of your household. As of right now, there’s only one major streaming service that hasn’t prevented passcode sharing just yet: Paramount+.

Sharing your account with someone else is actually a main feature of Paramount+’s streaming service. The base plan allows for a few devices to watch TV at the same time, and they don’t necessarily need to be within the same household. 

Paramount+ also comes with the ability to make up to six different profiles for the users that will be logging into the same Paramount+ account. This means that you have lots of opportunity to split your account with others, though the number of devices you can stream on at once is generally limited to three.

According to Paramount+’s terms of service, your account is intended to be used only by members of the same household. However, Paramount+ has not yet instituted the same anti-password sharing measures that most other streaming services have, which makes it the most sharing-friendly major streaming service to date.
