Generic Advice Says Honor System. Your Site Deserves Better.
Login sharing is a real revenue leak. Generic advice gives you a rule for everyone. A specific answer finds your actual leak
Enable concurrent login limits. Send a reminder email about your terms of service. Maybe try an honor system.
For people already sharing their login. An honor system.
That’s what you get when you ask advice that doesn’t know your site. It gives you a policy. A rule aimed at everyone, including the members who’ve never done anything wrong.
Your membership isn’t one thing. You’ve got levels. Each level unlocks something different, and those things aren’t equally valuable or equally at risk. A blanket crackdown doesn’t account for any of that. It punishes your honest members and still doesn’t tell you where the actual leak is.
A membership business owner asked MemberPress.ai exactly this question: My members are sharing their login with non-members. How do I stop it?
The answer that came back wasn’t a general policy. It started with what they’d actually lose. Because MemberPress.ai knows which levels that site has and what each one unlocks, it could identify which level to protect first, without writing a rule that treats every member like a suspect.
That’s a different kind of answer. Not smarter generic advice. An answer that already knows what’s on the line for that specific site before saying anything.
Generic advice hands you a rule and wishes you luck. An answer grounded in your actual site finds the leak and starts there.
Protect what matters most first, not everyone equally.
Worth knowing
Won't concurrent login limits solve the problem on their own?
They can help, but they apply the same friction to every member at every level. If you don't know which part of your site is actually being shared, you risk frustrating legitimate members while missing the real exposure.
How do I know which membership level to protect first?
Start with the level that delivers the most value: the content or access that would be most worth sharing. That's usually where the leak is, and it's where a crackdown makes the most difference without affecting members who aren't the problem.
