// 2fa for shared accounts

2FA for shared accounts your whole team can use

Shared logins are everywhere - the company Instagram, the AWS root, the vendor portal. Their 2FA usually lives on one person's phone. 2fashare moves it to a shared, scoped, audited home so the whole team can log in without waiting on anyone.

One secret, many people

Store the TOTP secret once. Every authorized teammate generates the same live code from their own browser, at the same time.

No phone passing

The code stops living on one person's phone. Nobody waits for a teammate to wake up, land, or get out of a meeting to log in.

Shared doesn't mean public

Codes sit in groups with role-based access, so a shared account is reachable by exactly the people who work on it - no one else.

Accountable by default

Every view and copy is logged. When several people can reach one login, you can still answer who used it, and when.

Shared accounts are a fact of life - their 2FA should keep up

Plenty of accounts can't have one seat per person: social profiles, admin consoles, registrars, support inboxes, marketplace dashboards. Turning on 2FA is the right call, but the standard setup binds the account to a single phone - and turns one teammate into a human code dispenser.

2fashare treats the shared account as what it is: a team resource. The TOTP secret is stored once, encrypted, inside a group. Teammates with access generate the live code themselves, from any browser. Someone joins, you add them; someone leaves, you remove them - and the audit log keeps every access on record.

Common questions

Can multiple people use 2FA on the same account?+

Yes. A TOTP secret isn't tied to one device - anywhere it's stored can generate the same rotating code. 2fashare stores the secret once, centrally, and lets every authorized teammate generate the live code instead of copying the secret onto personal phones.

How do teams usually handle 2FA for a shared account?+

Badly: one person holds the authenticator and everyone pings them for codes, or the QR code gets scanned onto a pile of personal phones, or codes get screenshotted into chat. All three break the moment someone leaves or a phone is lost.

What happens when the person holding the authenticator leaves?+

In the one-phone setup, you scramble for recovery codes and re-enroll 2FA everywhere. With 2fashare the secret belongs to the workspace, not a person - remove the member and they lose access instantly, with nothing to rotate.

Is it safe to have the same TOTP secret in more than one place?+

The risk isn't how many devices can compute the code - it's how many uncontrolled copies of the secret exist. One encrypted, access-controlled, audited copy in 2fashare is far safer than the same secret scanned onto several personal phones.
