Netflix has a new controversial plan to block shared accounts

▤ Summary

Netflix is testing a new policy that requires each profile on a shared subscription to be linked to its own email address. The company says the change should improve login, account recovery, and recommendation personalization. Users suspect the move is mainly designed to curb password sharing and limit access outside the primary household. The test is currently limited to selected users, and Netflix has not confirmed rumors about a wider rollout date or changes to SMS-based 2FA support.
