Shared Accounts Checklist

Stop chat sharing for shared accounts: SecurityChecklist keeps this draft free-first and claim-safe. Group chats and SMS keep passwords forever. Prefer official household plans or vault item sharing. Optional paid cards use claim-ledger prices from 2026-08-09 (NordPass Premium from $1.39/mo on a 2-year USD plan; 1Password Individual $2.99/mo billed annually). Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished). Who should not buy: anyone who still reuses passwords on email without MFA, anyone who will not memorize or securely store a master secret, or anyone who needs a published overall score before deciding.

Direct verdict

Shared Accounts Checklist: finish free controls first, then consider paid tools only for a leftover job you can name. Product scores stay unpublished (N/Pub) until signed test records exist.

Unpublished

Priority checklist

  1. List accounts multiple people actually need
  2. Prefer official household/family seats when available
  3. Use vault sharing instead of chat for leftovers
  4. Rotate any password that already appeared in chat
  5. Enable MFA where sharing features allow

Ledger-verified starting prices show below when captured; otherwise cards stay confirm-live or pending. Overall scores stay unpublished (N/Pub). Never invent dollar amounts.

Checklist

  1. 1

    Inventory shared logins

    Free

    Write down streaming, utilities, wifi, and work-adjacent accounts people share. Include which people need access.

    • List shared accounts
    • List people and devices
    • Mark passwords that already lived in chat
  2. 2

    Prefer official household features

    Free

    Many services offer family seats. Use them before inventing a shared password culture.

    • Enable official household seats when available
    • Remove ex-roommates promptly
    • Avoid a single email inbox for everyone
  3. 3

    Vault share instead of chat

    Optional paid

    When a shared secret remains, use a password manager share feature. Rotate secrets that were pasted into messages.

    • Rotate chat-exposed passwords
    • Share via vault item permissions
    • Enable MFA on the vault

What this checklist does not cover

  • Services without sharing features
  • People who refuse MFA
  • Invented household breach statistics
