Yes, they can. This happened to me in August by Capitol One and I only found out yesterday because I ran my credit report. Apparently, they don't even need the secondary person's social, just name and birthday and they send the information to the credit bureau, making this show up on the secondary person's credit report.
I want to know how this is legal!
A Primary card holder's credit will not be impacted by adding an authorized user.
No. Authorized Users are NOT liable for the debt, only the PRIMARY on the account is liable.
Authorized users on credit cards are individuals who are given permission by the primary cardholder to use the card. They can make purchases and build credit history, but they are not responsible for paying the bill. The primary cardholder remains responsible for all charges made by authorized users.
No unless the primary gives the secondary permission too
No. The secondary cardholder's credit history has nothing to do with the primary cardholder's. The reason for this is even if there are two cards, there is still only one account for both cards which the primary cardholder is responsible. Jags

It depends if the secondary card holder is a "Joint Account Member" or a "Authorized User". The joint account member is responsible for the balance, the authorized user is not.

An authorized user is someone who is given permission to use a credit card account by the primary cardholder. Authorized users can make purchases with the card, but they are not responsible for paying the bill. They do not have the ability to make changes to the account or request account information.
The authorized users who had full access to the account are both equally responsible for the debts incurred. The secondary user most likely used the card before the primary became deceased ... just because the primary account holder dies does not dismiss the responsibility of the secondary account user.
Authorized users on credit cards are individuals who are given permission by the primary cardholder to use the credit card. They are not responsible for making payments on the card, but they have the ability to make purchases and use the card within the limits set by the primary cardholder. Authorized users may have access to the same privileges as the primary cardholder, such as making purchases, earning rewards, and building credit history.
