Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the nature of passwords, it’s impossible to share them with guaranteed security. Once someone has your password, they could take a screenshot of it or write it down in an insecure location. If you must share passwords, only do so with people you fully trust.

Detailed explanation-2: -You should never share your password or another individual’s password for the following reasons: Your unique IPFW username and password is your identity in the digital world. Sharing passwords at the workplace is the same as giving away a personal identity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Never reveal your passwords to others. Your login credentials protect information as valuable as the money in your bank account. Nobody needs to know them but you-not even the IT department. If someone is asking for your password, it’s a scam.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
