Recently, my father called me in a panic. There were just a few minutes until Netflix would start streaming a live MMA event, and he couldn’t get into my account. For a while, my father had accessed Netflix as an add-on member with his own profile through my household’s account. On this day, however, he was logged out and couldn’t use my login credentials to watch Netflix. Instead, he saw a prompt asking him to “Add an email address to your profile” in order to continue.
