Spotify is tightening its rules for Premium Family subscriptions. The music streaming service has introduced a new QR code verification system to ensure that all subscribers to a Premium Family plan live at the same address.

Previously, members only needed to provide the same residential address as the subscription owner. However, Spotify may now require them to scan a QR code in person to prove that they live in the same household as the subscription owner. Users who fail to complete the verification process within seven days may face significant restrictions.
