**Netflix requires user profiles to be tied to unique email addresses**
Netflix implemented an update on June 15 that requires each user profile to have an associated email address. The company stated the change is designed to prevent account sharing among users who do not live in the same household. Users who previously shared login credentials will need to create separate accounts or purchase an additional membership to continue accessing the service.
