Disney has axed the second season of the show despite raving reviews on first season.

Disney has updated its subscriber agreement to include 'Extra Members' feature. READ MORE: Disney+ loses a staggering 1.3 million subscribers in three monthsCracking down on password sharing has worked for Netflix , with soaring profits and record subscriber numbers.Disney+ has unveiled an upcoming feature called 'Extra Members' that will make users pay an extra fee for 'freeloaders' using their account in another household.

What is password sharing? Password sharing is a habit adopted by users of steaming services such as Netflix and Disney+.This lets these so called 'freeloaders' access their account, create their own profile and watch films and TV shows without paying a penny. The option to add an Extra Member is not yet available on Disney+; MailOnline has contacted the streaming giant about when exactly it will arrive.Essentially, the existing account holder will have to extend an invitation to someone outside their household to use their account, likely via email.

Like Netflix, Disney may track the IP addresses of users to make sure Extra Members are in the same country. Alternatively, it could suit a small group of friends across different households where the account holder is considerably more wealthy than everyone else. In April, Disney CEO Bob Iger said it would soon be 'launching our first real foray into password sharing'

Crucially, the cheapest option, costing £4.99, plays adverts before and even during shows and movies.
