Multiple Accounts and Emails
« on: October 10, 2012, 10:05:04 AM »
Because of how SAR is organized in my county, people on my team have ended up with two Mission Manager accounts for two different teams.  We've found that you can use the same email address for two different accounts if your passwords are different.  I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to do this in practice.  I can envision problems with password resets and messaging, but don't quite know all the implications.  Anyone have thoughts? 
One solution is to simply use different email addresses, which several people do.  I'm wondering if I should make this a mandatory policy or if I should let the free-for-all continue.

This is by design, i.e. same email address with different passwords for different accounts.  I went through a lot of different methods of the same person in different accounts and this way seemed to be the best with the least confusion or security issues.   If someone resets their password they will get a new password for each account they are part of.
