I don't care who "logged in".
Shared just mean several people could use a resource providing the
same password.
They are a sort of "promotional codes". Some of them can be shared,
I don't mind if people give them to others provided they let our
service be known by others.
Then there are unique passwords on which we may or may not check if
they are used by multiple users of the site... but that's another
problem.

Association between email and password is just meant to build up a
queue for mailing and there is no uniqueness constraint on
(password, email) pair.
