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: -Sharing passwords can open your company to various unnecessary, preventable, but dangerous risks. Once a password is shared, you have no control over who uses it, where they use it, how they use it, or who they share it with. The safest choice is never to share passwords.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your account is no longer secure By granting anyone else your user credentials, you are seriously compromising the security of your account, because from the moment they have access, you don’t know what they are going to do with your access details.
Detailed explanation-4: -A password is a string of characters used to verify the identity of a user during the authentication process. Passwords are typically used in tandem with a username; they are designed to be known only to the user and allow that user to gain access to a device, application or website.
