By design, each member signs into their own member profile, and “accounts” are used to group together members and addresses (like a household). This allows granting admin privileges, placing people into groups, adding page editors, etc., at the more flexible individual level, rather than the household level. 

For this reason, the same email address cannot be listed for more than one individual, as we wouldn’t be able to tell which person is signing in. Even so, if two individuals share an email account (like a couple), there is a workaround! 

We recommend using the plus sign (+) feature supported by many email providers to create distinct email addresses without creating entirely new email accounts. When a plus sign is included correctly, all email messages will still go to the original email address. 

If a couple shared [email protected], they could register with [email protected] and [email protected].
