Netflix Requires 1 Email Per Profile Across Up to 5 Shared Accounts

Summary
Netflix has begun prompting some users to attach a separate email address to each profile, with reports saying the screen cannot be dismissed until the step is completed.
The company says the change makes device logins, account recovery and personalization easier; a later confirmation said the rollout started June 15 and gives secondary users their own credentials and settings control.
The prompt appears limited for now, with some support staff reportedly unaware of it, and reinstalling the app only temporarily removes the screen.
Users can still opt out through Account settings by disabling feature testing, but reports say Netflix plans a broader rollout from July 7 and may drop SMS-based two-factor codes.
The move extends Netflix's password-sharing crackdown by tightening control over shared households while making independent access easier for legitimate secondary users.
