If you manage client social accounts, security is part of the job, not an extra. The real line between amateur and professional is not just the quality of the content. It is how you handle access. Sending credentials over email or Slack is not just messy; it creates avoidable risk for the client and unnecessary liability for you.

How to Manage Client Assets Securely in 1Password
