Netflix began enforcing a requirement on June 15 that ties each user profile to a unique email address, effectively ending password sharing across household members.
The streaming service's updated policy eliminates the previous practice of sharing login credentials among multiple users. Each profile now requires its own email address for authentication.
This change represents Netflix's continued effort to monetize shared accounts. The company previously introduced paid sharing options, allowing account holders to add extra members for a fee in select regions.
The rollout began mid-June and applies to all user profiles. Accounts with multiple profiles must now assign distinct email addresses to each one, or consolidate profiles.
Netflix has positioned the shift as a security measure while addressing account sharing practices that extend beyond traditional household use. The policy aligns with the company's broader strategy to increase revenue per account.
Users who fail to update their profile settings may experience access interruptions or forced re-authentication when attempting to log in from existing devices.
