What is account sharing?
Account sharing is the use of one registered account by multiple people beyond the access permitted by a product or subscription.
How does ShieldLabs help prevent account sharing?
Password sharing detection here uses observed device activity under one registered account; ShieldLabs does not read the password. Detection starts at four devices per account. Filter detected results in the dashboard by device count to investigate subscription, license and content access.
Can I filter detections by device count?
Yes. Detection starts at four devices per account. Dashboard filters can narrow displayed detections by device count without changing the detection rules.
What does an account sharing result include?
The result includes an account sharing detection and associated device activity. View detected sharing in the dashboard or receive supported results through API integrations.
Is using several devices always account sharing?
No. Multiple devices do not automatically mean account sharing. ShieldLabs returns a separate account sharing detection when the event is detected; your subscription records define permitted access.
Is account sharing confidence a risk score?
No. Event confidence describes the account sharing detection. A numeric risk score belongs to an identification, and its trusted, suspicious or dangerous assessment describes that visit.
Does ShieldLabs manage paid seats or subscriptions?
Licenses, subscription plans and entitlements are supplied by your product. ShieldLabs provides the account sharing detection and identity evidence used around plan and access reviews.
