Looking for secure way to share passwords

[Mark Phillips]

Jill,

Great point!

In this particular situation, the "team members" will probably not want to
download a plugin, and I don't want to the the help desk for the plugin.
However, I don't think that will be a problem. If they forget their
password and can't get into their lastpass account, then I would tell them
to make another account, and I will share the passwords with the new
account. A very kludgey solution to this problem, but if it happens, they
may get over their fear of downloading a plugin. On a technical scale of
1-10, where 10 = Linux Admin and 1 = still using a rotatory dial land line
, the team members are 2s. ;)
