Andy Samberg’s Password Sharing Gag at the Emmys Is No Joke for Streaming Services

September 22, 2015

Login credentials are meant to be shared among members of a household, sure.

Although some of those companies don’t consider password sharing to be a major issue, a poll by USA Today found that 36% of adult Americans who use premium TV streaming services have shared their passwords before.
