Isn't that a contradiction? You share computers but using private keys
are considered unsafe?
IMHO sharing computers is much worse.

Define "session" here please. Because whatever you choose as a session,
it will always be wrong and unsafe.
* if the session is as long as the window/dialog is open, then what
happens if you leave your station with the window open? The next user
would still be using your 'session' here, including your password.
* if the session is per connection (as it is now), then you have to
enter the password sometimes more than just once
* if the session is forever, then sharing your station would simply have
all your users commit with the same username/password
