If your friend asks you to share your password to use your computer for work, what should you do?
A
Being your friend, you share the password
B
You decline to provide
C
You login yourself and allow him to work
D
You create his login on your computer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The best and safest way to share a password is with a password manager. A password management tool offers secure sharing without sharing credentials through unsafe methods such as text messages and email. Password managers allow you to share records directly with employees without exposing any usernames or passwords.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sharing passwords at the workplace is the same as giving away a personal identity. IPFW account activity can be tracked for your account; and unethical behavior performed by someone using your account will be traced back to you.

Detailed explanation-3: -When sharing your password with someone else, you risk granting that individual access to every account you own with the same password–and probably even those with similar passwords. If one of these passwords is for a social media platform, an angry colleague could change your profile picture to embarrass you.

Detailed explanation-4: -Don’t use common words & patterns Avoid simple words, phrases, and patterns that are easy to guess. Examples: Obvious words and phrases like “password” or “letmein” Sequences like “abcd” or “1234"
