TweetDeck Teams Lets You Share Twitter Accounts Without Sharing Passwords

This week the folks at Twitter – who own TweetDeck – have introduced a feature for the platform called Teams. You and your associates will all need TweetDeck for this feature to work, but once they do, it makes sharing one Twitter account super easy. This system allows you to share access to a Twitter account instead of sharing your password for said account. You can give contributor access or admin access, and deny access to this one main leader account at any time.

The process requires TweetDeck for all users. It's not immediately clear that this is true, but it is. This means they'll have to have a TweetDeck app or will have to access Twitter through the TweetDeck web console. Easy enough to do, yes?

To lend access to any account on your list of Twitter accounts, you'll need to log in with that account specifically.

If you log in to TweetDeck with your main account and have another Twitter account on your list of Twitter accounts, that secondary account will not have the "Team" ability – you need to log in with THAT account.

Adding colleagues is simple and this process would appear to be ideal for ever-changing squads of users. Have a peek at this system through TweetDeck right this minute!

If you're using a TweetDeck app, you'll need to update as of this week – February 17th, 2015.
