I share an apartment with my roommate, and overall things are fine. The only issue is her boyfriend. He’s over almost every day, and I’ve noticed he’s been using my Disney+ account without asking. I didn’t mind too much because I thought maybe my roommate gave him my login for one movie night. But then I started seeing his profile show up on my account, and he was watching all kinds of stuff regularly. The problem? I pay for Disney+ entirely on my own. My roommate doesn’t contribute a cent, and neither does he. It started to annoy me because half the time when I wanted to watch something, the too many devices message popped up since he was already logged in at his place.
So I talked it out casually to my roommate, and this is what I’ve said, Hey, your boyfriend is using my account a lot, can you ask him to stop? She’s did not like it and seemed upset about it, and said to me, It’s not a big deal, you already pay for it. That made me even more annoyed because it is a big deal to me. It’s my money, my account, and he’s not even living here. So I changed the password. The next time he came over, he apparently tried to log in and couldn’t. My roommate confronted me, and said, Why did you change the password without telling us? You should’ve just told us more firmly instead of being sneaky.
My roommate and her boyfriend are giving me attitude, lol. Acting like I ruined their nightly routine. I don’t think I did anything wrong, it’s my account, and I’m the one who’s paying for it
So, AITA for changing the Disney+ password after my roommate’s boyfriend kept freeloading on my account?

>You should’ve just told us more firmly
LOLLLLLLL
No, OP. NTA.
This has to be fake. Disney+ doesn’t have a limit to how many devices can be used at once
NTA. Neither your room mate or the BF should be benefiting for a streaming service they aren’t helping to pay for. I’d change the PW and ensure to fully log out after using it so that even your room mate has no access on shared devices like smart TV. Also if the BF is there that much, have a very serious talk with your room mate about a 3 way split on bills. He’s benefiting from your power, water, gas, food, rent. He should be chipping in or your roommate should be paying a higher %.
NTA if they want an account they can pay for it. Your roommate is a the ahole and her bf is a mooch
My money, my account, my rules. Period
NTA don’t argue with freeloaders
NTA
Link them to the sign-up page? Anyone can get a Disney account :/
*NTA!*
> It’s not a big deal, you already pay for it…. You should’ve just told us more firmly instead of being sneaky.
NTA – so they’re giving you attitude, about something they don’t pay for and aren’t entitled to, and to which they also had a problem in the way you called them out? Do you live with a pair of failing, entitled, poorly performing comedians?
NTA. I’d mail your roommate a link so she can get her own account.
NTA. It’s your account, your money, your rules. You even brought it up first and they dismissed you. Changing the password was completely fair, your roommate and her boyfriend are just mad their free ride ended.
If Disney Plus catches you with a shared account:
If Disney catches you sharing your account, you will get a warning to pay an additional fee, or they could terminate your account
An “Extra Member” on Disney+ costs an additional$6.99/month for a Disney+ Basic (with ads) plan or $9.99/month for a Disney+ Premium (ad-free) plan. This paid sharing option allows the primary account holder to add one person from outside their household to their subscription.

“I don’t necessarily have a problem with you using it but too many time’s I’ve tried to watch it and couldn’t because too many devices were using it at once.”
Don’t accept splitting the cost either because then you’ll just be paying half price for zero access.
NTA. He can chip in or get his own. Either way, they aren’t entitled to your account.
NTA I’d say changing the Pw is telling them to stop about as firmly as possible barring physical violence
Yes, you’re even more of an asshole for worrying about something. That’s so cheap and typing it all out. You clearly are one of those control freaks. I didn’t even bother to read it. I just know that if you even care, I have people haven’t spoken in years that you various passwords are mine because who the fuck cares I’m gonna pay for it regardless.
NTA, the moment them using your account impacts you using it is when you cut them off, the fact that he is logging in at his home is massively entitled. Also who know who else he will share your password with.
Of course NTA. It’s your account. You can do whatever you want to do with it. Nobody else gets any say.
Well your roommate ain’t wrong! You could have stepped up a second time more firmly and remind them that it would be easy for you to change the password and completely restrict their access. That being said you obviously have every right to change your password to your account.
No.
They are user AHs. You did the right thing. People need to grow up and pay for their own stuff.
NTA. They’re both inconsiderate and entitled.
NTA
A compromise might be “hey happy with you using my Disney+ but do you have Netflix/paramount/Hulu/<insert other streaming service> that I might be able to borrow”.
I paid for Netflix, prime, Disney and Spotify for years. Let family use it because ok why not.
I was really pissed off when both my siblings moved out and logged in to their prospective share houses without sending me a cent. Then logged in at various partners houses and devices.
Was fine when they were studying but now they are working and just on principle they should be giving something back or the accounts need to be split so one person has Netflix the other Disney etc
I recently put my foot down about this because of the stupid one wifi rule but also this shit ain’t fucking free!!
Absolutely NTA.
Meh. There are bigger problems in life.
If someone wants to use your streaming service, they can at least ask, or you know, pay for it. Freeloading boyfriend got too comfy with other people’s money. NTA
NTA. You told your roommate and she gave you attitude. Of course the obvious thing to do was to change your password because the boyfriends constant use was causing you not to be able to use a service you were paying for.
NTA I’d have changed the password the first time my account that I pay for wouldn’t let me watch something because too many other people that aren’t paying for my service are watching things
NTA at all. If it was that serious they would have offered to pay it or pay half or whatever.
You spoke to them about it.
They ignored your boundaries… oh no! Consequences.
NTA
It is annoying when you have to reaffirm that you’re watching your account on your device.
Back when it was allowed or at least not being policed, I shared my Disney+ account info with my son. When it became tiresome to have to reaffirm that in watching at home in my house with my subscription, I asked him to stop using it, and he did. My son, blood relation not a roommate.
