Abstract
Consider this situation: someone in a household buys a new PC, and when setting it up for the first time, creates the obligatory Windows user account. That person then provides the password for the user account to other members of the household, who in turn use to log into the PC whenever they want to use it. This effectively means that multiple people are not only sharing a PC, they’re sharing a single user account.
