How do we disable remote access with the new Sonos web app?

Now that we have the new Sonos web app we can control our Sonos players from anywhere in the world, something that I believe wasn’t available before.

Is there any way to turn that off?

It’s an insult and disrespect to all Sonos users to mark disabling remote access/player as a “feature” request. Do you call the front door of your house a “feature?” or your house just doesn’t come with a door when you buy it and you have to “improve” your house by adding a front door at your expense? So moral of the story? Don’t buy a Sonos product or you’ll regret and want to buy competitor’s product that does come with “feature” most people expect to be there.

Supreme arrogance that they think they can flout privacy legislation. Clearly the constant scrutiny and court cases for FB, etc in the EU and US don't put them off.

In addition, Sonos does not have anyway to see who’s logged in to you account and from where, similar to what Plex does and most online streaming services.

I’ve just reset my password as I am getting random favourites added on my Android app that I can’t delete, but that is pointless if it doesn’t log out anyone who is logged in with my account

Every single one of those services has had data breaches and been subject to attacks by hackers over the last few years. And they have all sorts of encryption in place. Sonos are so incompetent that they have zero checks and controls in place. They have moved the app to the web without ANY consideration of safety and security.
