One household, four sets of hands.

The situation

Shared things drift.

Household accounts get set up once, in a hurry, by whoever was holding the phone. A year later nobody remembers which email it was under, and the person who knows is out.

So the answers live in a group chat, a kitchen drawer, and three different heads, and none of those agree with each other.

A card is a single place the whole house can point at. Not because it is clever, but because it has a location.

How to run it

One card for the house.

1. I

   Household only

   Keep personal logins off it. This card is the router, the meter, the TV, the school portal.

2. II

   One password, said once

   Agree the password with the adults who need it. Change it when the household changes.

3. III

   A fixed place

   The card lives in one drawer, not in a pocket. Everyone knows the drawer.

4. IV

   A yearly read

   Once a year, read it through and delete what the house no longer uses.
