Spotify confirmed it is rolling out QR code verification for its Family Plan to ensure members live in the same household, but downplayed the move as a 'routine improvement' rather than a crackdown. The company told investors the change aims to enforce household restrictions more effectively.
Background
Spotify's Family Plan allows up to six accounts at a discounted rate, but has long been scrutinized for abuse by users sharing it outside a single household. QR code verification is part of Spotify's broader enforcement push to tighten plan eligibility.
