Cohousing-L Mailing List: Tracking Passwords or People with Passwords to Critical Systems

[Anna Amato (aamato216]

 Dear Fellow Cohousers,

Takoma Village Co-housing is trying to find a way to track passwords or the
people with passwords for critical systems.  These are increasingly complex
with two factor authentication or very personal information, so reliant on
single individuals.  A single point of failure could be catastrophic.  For
example, there might be no internet or electricity because a bill did not
get paid and the person with access to the account is away.  In another
example, water is dripping from an upstairs unit through the ceiling into a
downstairs unit and the occupant is away and unreachable.  You need to find
out who has the key to the lockbox with emergency keys to get into the unit
and find the leak to minimize damage.


If your community has found a way to track these, would you be willing to
talk to a member of our Administrative Team, which is trying to find a
solution that will work for us?


Thank you,
*Anna from Takoma Village Cohousing is Washington DC*
