Sharing passwords between groups of people so everyone always has the up to date version. Not breaking the world if two people try to modify the same entry as some file syncing solutions do.
Hmm, interesting, though isn't that a fault of the organization not having an account-linking system so that each person could have their own credentials but can still access the unified content? This workaround seems... flimsy, unless I'm not picturing a legit scenario in which no other method is as good, or something.
Sometimes it just makes sense to have a single team login.
Licensing for instance where each user costs money and not all users need a dedicated account to look at something of which only 1% is of importance to them.
Fair. I've clearly not worked at a place like this before!
It's the fault of my family organization or every company we use that my parent's bank, Google, phone, laptop, etc don't allow more than one set of credentials to access the same thing?
It's not just that we need to be able to share credentials the once a blue moon I need to help them by logging into their account?
Wait, I don't understand. Why do you need to do so much account-sharing? I never had half of that... and if connecting is just once in a blue moon, then it shouldn't need something like group creds anyway, right?
