# How can I share my whole CookBook with my partner or family?

| **Quick answer:** CookBook doesn’t offer account-linking or family profiles yet. You can either **share your login details** or each person can maintain **separate accounts** and exchange individual recipes.

# Option 1 - Share your login (use with caution)

* Give your **email / username and password** to anyone you want inside the account.
* They will have full control: adding, editing, deleting recipes, changing tags, meal-planner slots, shopping lists and account details/settings.
* As the account holder you’re legally responsible for everything done under your credentials, including subscription changes and in-app purchases.
* Two-factor or single-sign-on (Apple / Google) must also be shared if enabled.

# Option 2 - Keep separate accounts and share recipes

1. Each person creates their own CookBook account (free tier or subscription).
2. Share recipes one-by-one via:


    * **CB file** export / import
    * **QR code** (mobile apps)
3. Everyone keeps personal favourites, tags and meal plans while still exchanging dishes.

# Why we advise separate accounts

* Personal meal plans, nutrition goals and shopping lists stay private.
* No risk of accidental edits or deletions across the shared library.
* Clear audit trail for subscription payments and billing details.
