+Sharing a copy of one's private key is nothing that can be done accidentally, secured by at least two confirmation dialogues, and in some cases by artificial delays and glaring reminders that passing on one's private key can mean anything from signing over life and health to the other user, all the way to losing all legal claim to one's resources or familial connections.
