Some services, such as Hulu and Netflix, have even tighter restrictions on simultaneous streams, but no set limits on the number of logins. HBO’s password sharing policies aren’t out of line with other streaming services. (We’re guessing this won’t be a concern for Samberg.) But it’s also worth noting that HBO Now’s terms of use hold users responsible for “maintaining the confidentiality of each username and password.” HBO says it’s not liable for any losses if someone gets your login and locks you out. Exceeding the limit isn’t necessarily grounds for having your account suspended, but it would explain why few people could use Samberg’s account to watch anything.Īs for why the account is inaccessible now, it’s possible that someone changed the password. Create a new account if you are a new user.
Now enter the credentials and Sign In into the application. This can enable the subscribers to stream video on demand selections of HBO content that includes default and past series, films, sports using HBO site. That’s as specific as the company will get in its documentation, but we know from media reports that the actual limit is three streams at the same time, for both HBO Go and HBO Now. The HBO Go is one distinctive channel and it is being used by millions of people.
#HBO NOW PASSWORD STORED TV#
Officially, HBO says it limits the number of simultaneous streams on both HBO Go (a free streaming service for people who get the channel through their cable provider) and HBO Now (a $15 per month standalone streaming service, no cable TV required). Still, HBO does have limits in place to discourage large-scale (or in Samberg’s case, nationwide audience-scale) password sharing, even if the network avoids describing them in specific terms. It’s something HBO is well aware of, and has even brushed off as having “ no impact” on the business. The whole stunt was nod to the widely-known practice of mooching an HBO login from a friend or family member. As of this writing, we can’t get into the account at all. But they also discovered that sharing an HBO Now password has its limits. Observers who tested the credentials-username password “password1”-discovered that the account did indeed work. During Sunday night’s Emmy Award ceremony, comedian Andy Samberg put HBO Now’s password sharing policies to the test by announcing his own supposed login details.
