SB152 Does not log in with shared credentials

People should not log into their accounts using credentials that have been shared with other people. Doing so can compromise security, and potentially breach security policies.


Why is it important?

Shared credentials pose a risk as you lose control of who has access but also who can be held accountable if there is an issue.
