Curbing account sharing: how service providers can preserve revenue

This unauthorized sharing can lead to widespread access by individuals who are not authorized users, potentially resulting in significant revenue losses for service providers.

They have a range of powerful tools at their disposal, such as session management, DRM license management, and multifactor authentication. By harnessing these resources, service providers can monitor account-sharing activities.

Strengthening authentication processes can significantly reduce password sharing. By implementing robust identity verification methods, such as multifactor authentication, service providers can authorize access to their services only to positively authenticated users.
