Not when you have shared logins for websites with 4 other people who
have their own computer with their
own password for that computer some have a work compluter a home and a laptop, so that;s sysnching 4 users
over perhaps 3 computers each.
What we tend to do is use the same username and password but not save any credit card details

No reason why it wouldn't work. Just use your own manager with the same common details.
Obviously, you shouldn't be sharing any passwords - let alone work ones - with other people, but that's a different story.
