Ah, another service I don't share but still hate their bullshit rules so will cancel the first time it wants me to verify passwords. I work about 50 miles from home so every time I go to watch something after a service has done this, the streaming service thinks I'm a different user and wants me to verify login stuff. So yeah. Get canceled, max.

It will make a fine addition to my collection.
