  You know that not every account is only used by a single user, right?

    I think that’s the problem right there… If you share accounts across multiple people you have far greater problems than how passkeys work…

      Or they’re using it as intended. I’ve had more than one account I’ve gotten by cost sharing with friends. That’s not a problem, that’s a solution.

        And it only takes one person with a grudge to cause a problem. I have seen it. I have shared accounts but very carefully and if someone abuses it then they permanently lose access to my stuff even if they are family.

  share your personal password

  We share a password. Then we don’t call it a personal password anymore. Was that your question?

        You create unique accounts for every team member so that access can appropriately be logged.

        Or you implement a PAM tool that logs access and vaults the password and rotates it after use.

  Obviously not the personal password, but sometimes you need to share a password. Think about the password for a remote desktop your team may need to connect to for troubleshooting a problem for example.
