How to avoid password-sharing risks
WHY PASSWORD SHARING IS DANGEROUS
Shared passwords make it hard to know who accessed an account and can expose systems if one person is compromised.
DO NOT SHARE
Do not send passwords by email, chat, text message, document, spreadsheet, or sticky note.
SAFER OPTIONS
Use delegated access, shared vault features, role-based access, or approved group accounts where available.
IF YOU SHARED A PASSWORD
Change it as soon as possible and report the exposure if it involved work systems or sensitive data.
BEST PRACTICE
Every person should use their own account whenever possible.
