Netflix Adds Dedicated Email per Profile
Netflix is rolling out a feature that allows each profile on a single account to be linked to its own email address. Once added, profile users can sign in independently and receive verification codes directly, and manage individual preferences such as subtitle language, audio and display settings without affecting other profiles. Netflix says profile-specific recommendations will continue to be driven by each user’s viewing history. The feature is accessible via Profile Settings or a button in the notification email; Netflix pointed users to its Privacy Statement for details on personal data handling. The rollout follows the company’s 2023 efforts to curb password sharing and aims to make legitimate household sharing smoother while preserving individualized experiences.

Netflix requires unique logins per profile
Netflix has begun rolling out a policy change that requires most user profiles to be linked to a unique email address and password. The company told Ars Technica the change has been deployed gradually since June 15, 2026. The measure is intended to allow individual profiles to log in independently of the main account holder and to let each profile manage language, audio and display settings. Children’s profiles are exempt. Some users complain the change makes switching profiles on shared devices more cumbersome; others warn it could enable further personalization, including profile-level advertising and email newsletters unless users actively unsubscribe.

OAAA Launches Programmatic Center of Excellence for DOOH
AI is pushing advertising back into physical spaces due to declining trust in online content, the rise of AI answer engines that bypass websites, and the growth of agentic AI. Out-of-home (OOH) and digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising are gaining renewed relevance, with US OOH revenue up 10.7% YoY to $3.16B in Q2 and DOOH up 18.5%, representing nearly 40% of category revenue. To guide this evolution, the OAAA has launched a Programmatic & Automation Center of Excellence led by COO Patrick Dolan, focusing on standardization, workflow automation, agentic AI, reporting/attribution, and omnichannel/retail media integration. The initiative aims to automate both programmatic and static OOH processes, addressing friction points. However, this trend raises concerns about consumer opt-out options and the over-commercialization of public spaces, as noted by Ezra Klein.
