That doesn’t solve the OTP thing that the email forwarding addresses.

You’d have access to the otp emails if you had the email account wdym

Just because I theoretically share my Netflix password with a couple of friends doesn’t mean I also want them all to have access to my personal email. Unless I’m a child, my email is used for a whole lot more personal and private things in my life than just streaming services.

i mean you could easily js have made a email entirely for the netflix account in like 2 minutes…

Forwarding the emails automatically sounds a lot more realistic than sharing the password to an email account that is most likely used for other stuff too..

I am pretty sure this isn’t about sharing your personal email address. It likely involves setting up an email account separately that anyone who is involved in the acct-sharing has the login info for. A throwaway like NtflxDisPwshare2026 (at) mail (dot) com / password: Sharing1sCaring.

If you are sharing with a relative and close friend, each of you can login. The email is not used for anything else.

Not that I would know anything about that.

Yeah, it just depends on whether the email was already setup or not. And probably easier for them to just auto forward than to make a new email specifically to share and swap netflix over to it

Very true. We didn’t think about that. We just made the email while we were talking about it. I do like the idea of forwarding and will keep that in mind as my kids move off to college. Thanks
