Twitter has introduced TweetDeck Teams for its app on web, Chrome and Windows. This will allow users to share one Twitter account with their team members without giving away the password to all.

According to a blog post by Twitter, to use this feature you need to log into TweetDeck with your Twitter account instead of the earlier legacy TweetDeck account, which had a log-in via an email id and password. To know more about how to get rid of the 2013-style log-in read more here.

With the introduction of TweetDeck teams, once you log into an account, all you need to do is go to account and type the name of a user who you want to give shared access to for an account. For instance, if you run a website and you want all your team members to handle the account for that site, just type in their account name and select authorise.
