    I think that the problem of Fritz is the fact that it is a priori
not clear that there is a same account with the same pass on each
machine. Maybe Fritz has configured the computers in such a way that the 
pass of the first is "314", the pass of the second is "159", the third 
"265" ... Fritz wants not to memorize 25 different passwords !
    Of course, I think that the right solution is to set up the same 
pass  on all the computers.
