Members have <strong>seven days<\/strong> after receiving a notification to complete the check, with missed verification potentially triggering account restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The process requires members to scan a code displayed on the plan manager\u2019s phone. It refreshes every few seconds, making it harder to share a screenshot with someone elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Members who miss the deadline can face the following consequences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being locked out of their account.<\/li>\n<li>Being unable to join another Family or Duo plan for <strong>12 months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They can still subscribe to another Premium plan option.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify\u2019s Family plans have always been intended for people who live together, although subscribers have shared costs with friends or relatives at other addresses. The company has used several approaches to check whether members belong to the same household.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>2018<\/strong>, Spotify asked Family subscribers in the <strong>U.S. and Germany<\/strong> to confirm their addresses using GPS (Global Positioning System) information. That approach drew objections from members because some families live in separate households.<\/p>\n<p>The seven-day scan requirement can affect students living away from home, parents travelling for work and relatives who live separately. The checks target Family account sharing outside a single household, a practice subscribers have shared as a way to split subscription costs. <strong><a
