Spotify Strengthens Verification for Family Subscriptions

Spotify may ask Premium Family members to confirm cohabitation with the subscription owner. The owner opens a QR code in the mobile app, and the member scans it using their phone's camera; both must be in the same location to complete the verification. The code updates every few seconds.

In addition to the QR code, the service requests a full address when joining the plan, when the owner changes their address, or if the previous address cannot be verified. The address must be in the same country where the payment method was issued; Spotify clarifies that it does not track users' locations.
