Spotify users face crack down on plan changes with 12-month ban
Users who fail the scan will be moved to the free tier and barred from another Premium Family or Duo plan for 12 months, Spotify said.
- Spotify introduced a QR code verification system for Family Plan users to ensure all members reside at the same address as the account manager.
- CEO Alex characterized the update as a 'routine improvement' rather than a crackdown, noting the company seeks to close loopholes users have exploited over time.
- Users receiving a verification prompt must complete the scan within seven days or face removal from their Premium Family plan.
- The QR code updates every few seconds to prevent users from bypassing the system using screenshots, while verifying addresses match the account manager.
- Users failing to comply face a 12-month ban from joining another Premium Family or Duo plan, though Spotify emphasized the method verifies addresses without tracking specific locations.
