Sharing my tree information in Family Search
First let me start by saying "by share" I mean sharing the living records with a family member so they can assist with inputing or correcting information. I understand that another account can not see the living records of my account, however, I don't want them to have to recreate those same records either. There has to be an easy way of building our family tree without duplication of effort.
How can this be accomplished?

Right now there are not any easy alternatives. One option is to use a stand alone system such as Roots Majic or Ancestral file and share with other family members. Each has a copy but there are some issues when one make a change to their copy. Family Search has said they are working on a shared living option but nothing has been released and we do not know if or when something will be released. Protection of private information is governed by different rules in different countries and FamilySearch needs to comply with all these rules. Prevent release of private information is a major priority.

Thanks for the quick response.
I guess, although it's not a perfect solution, I can share my account with my daughter.

It is not a good idea to share an account with another person, per the terms of use:
"During the registration process, you will be asked to create a sign-in name and password to access certain portions of this or other FamilySearch affiliated sites. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in name and password. You are responsible for all activities that occur using this sign-in name and password. If someone else uses your sign-in name and password in such a way as to breach the terms of this Agreement, you remain responsible for his/her actions, and use of your sign-in name may be suspended or terminated."

Then I guess at this time there are no acceptable solutions. Hmmm...

You can share screen shots. You can also share your computer or phone screen remotely.
You can share your FS login account. One way to do this without sharing the password is to log yourself in on multiple devices then have the other person use one device. They would be editing FT as you, under your supervision.
