Max will begin cracking down on password sharing, with potential fee increases starting soon.

Max, the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, plans to crack down on password sharing, following Netflix and Disney+. CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels announced a phased approach starting with "soft messaging" soon, intensifying in 2025-2026. Users may be asked to pay more for shared accounts, and a price increase could also be implemented. The move aims to curb password sharing, which Wiedenfels views as a form of price rise, and follows a recent surge in subscribers.
